Yes, I have some reflections.
Blogging started as a "pain" because I don't always like to share. I do, however, like to write. It is an enlightening process. And I am very amusing at times. But taking my creativity creature out is like uncaging Lewis Carroll's mythical Jabberwocky- very strange, unpredictable, and disturbing.
My favorite web 2.0 tool?
It has to be a collection of them- because if I said "YouTube.com" we would all be aghast.But by gory, by gum, if it isn't the handiest little collection of most things illustrated and animated for education! So I'm including xtranormal.com as a wonderful tool for creating movie clips where I don't have to be in the starring role and I can make animations (which I always wanted to do).
I haven't developed the proper appreciation for Delicious bookmarks yet (probably because I'd been using Portaportal.com for 7 years now). But my researching skills (read Google and YouTube have increased significantly). And while I like my new blog and Netvibes, the aggregated info is still very overwhelming, but at least I know where to go when I want to absorb something new. And I need to admit liking my peers' blogs. (There's that whole sharing thing again.)
Probably the best thing I've discovered I like because its so useful and versatile is NING social networking platform. I've incorporated it into my thesis project because it can do what I've needed for a while. I may have even found more tools in a beta program called FireDB and surveymonkey.com should provide me the data I need to collect.
