#23 Is this really the end? Or just the beginning ...






Wow. I can't believe I finally arrived at the end of the "23 things" journey! Had a few bumps along the way, but overall it was a very interesting learning experience. I'm sure the journey is not over, as new technologies evolve.


#22 Audiobooks



The World Ebook fair site is quite with many interesting books to download. This was quite easy to do, and I downloaded and listened to a couple of books from my childhood such as the Little Match girl by Hans Christian Anderson and Rumpelstiltskin by Gebrüder Grimm. They certainly brought back some happy memories.

I found Zoho Writer quite easy to use and very similar to MS word. I created an account and even created a couple of documents that I can save online, publish and share as a public file. And the best thing about this and other web-based applications is that they are free.

#17 Playing around with PBWiki

Well I've just been playing around in the sandbox, and even added my own thoughts. It was quite easy to add my blog to the favourite blogs list. It was great exploring around, discovering links to other wikis on some of my favourite topics. Could spend hours exploring and discovering.

#16 So what's in a Wiki

I've just been exploring some wiki sites, particularly the book lovers wiki, set up by Princeton University. It is very interesting reading people's opinions on books and other topics, and having the opportunity to add my own thoughts. I can see the benefits of wikis.
