Hi,
I was on holiday last week so am playing catch up now!
I already have a Twitter account which I find very useful for keeping up-to-date. I'm not sure about using the # ...can anyone explain it simply???
I followed the instructions for using RSS so hopefully I'll find this useful for checking things quickly. I'm just practising at the moment but hope to start using these tools at work in a meaningful way very soon.
I haven't tried Pushnote yet but I will have a look at it when I have a spare moment!
I'm enjoying the 'course' so far and feel it is gently intoducing me to 'new' ideas which I should be thinking about now in my everyday life and work.

Branding...sounds painful!
I Googled my name and the first hit was my LinkedIn account. Then followed Facebook. JustGiving was next in the list and it was nice to see I wasn't just a gossip! But Twitter came hot on it's heels so I guess I am!!!
I was sorry not to see this blog...then realised I have used only my first names for it, and not my surname. Now I see why consistency is best. It would be much better to link all my activity on the internet.
I also need to create links to my social networking on my blog.
Nothing came up that I wouldn't want employers etc to see. I'm very careful what I say in public forums...that's an age thing I guess! At work we are reminded to be very careful how we use social networking as we work with young people (although for them ANYTHING goes on Facebook etc!)
If you are reading this post can I ask you to comment on what you see on my blog and what you think it says about me. Who do you think 'Paulamarie' is?

WOW!
I've just had a look at some blogs...and they all look so professional! I can see I have a lot to learn.
Day one...and we're off!!!
I'm a very old librarian(!) with 30+ years experience of the usual things...but not much knowledge of the 23 Things! Well, not the techy Things!
I rely a lot on my younger staff for that!
However, I now own an iPhone...use Twitter and Facebook quite a lot...and am ready to be dragged into the 21st century (gently, please!)
Blogging is completely new to me and I need all the help I can get with it! I welcome any hints and tips.
I'm looking forward to meeting new 'friends'
Back soon with new blogs...hopefully!
