#31 Tweet!!

I spent waaaay too much time on this thing. Had problems logging in to get myself on the directory. I will keep trying and, by golly, will be in the directory! I also added some more people and groups that I am now following. I think the most practical thing that I have done is further updated my igoogle page. I now have 4 or 5 tabs with one of them being social networks. On this page is my "twitter". This eliminates some steps for me and makes it easier to check my updates and to post my own update. It is making it somewhat easier to use, but I'm not sure if it's worth it for me. I am still too cheap to add all of the various capabilities to my cell phone, so so much for the mobile tweet!! I tried to add another button and that attempt failed. I have Twitter on my blog also but not sure I want it on my Facebook yet. Overall, I'm making progress - and then I read the post and discovered I am at the "dumping"' stage!! 3 is still closing in on 5! Time to move on......

Detour

I am taking a quick break from the "things" to talk up the Nett Lake students! My friend, Sharon, challenged the students to a reading contest in the month of March. If the entire school, K-6, met her challenge, she would get a mo hawk! The kids here more than met the challenge and read like crazy the entire month! All books read had to be at the student's reading level. Different classes had different goals but, in the end, all grades met the challenge. The book total for K-6 was 259 books!!! Consequently, another friend of mine came up to Nett and gave Sharon her first mo hawk in front of the entire student body. It was a fun Friday afternoon. Thanks to Sharon for being such a great encourager for the kids and congrats to all of the fantastic readers at Nett Lake Elementary School!!!

#30 - yikes!!

Soooo, I need to put on my hip boots I am in so deep! I continue to use my i-google page for my RSS feeds. My google reader is on my home page and I regularly check it. I added some blogs also and they all appear together in order of "newest". There are a lot of feeds but I am okay with this since I read the "newest"! I tried to do the whole "feed rinse" thing and after wasting too much time on it, I quit - without rinsing anything. All in all, I don't feel I need to go to these great lengths to organize my pitiful 11 bookmarks on Delicious and my already set-up Google Reader. Perhaps if I really get into this, I would see a need to go back and rethink. For now, I am just not spending that much time searching out blogs and sites-for personal or professional use. I added a Delicious tag to my blog - not sure how interesting my bookmarks are though! All in all, I am beginning to wonder if, for right now, I am where I need to be with this #thing. Time and interest are keeping me here. In 6 months, will I feel the same? Dunno!
