Assignment # 6

Whew! What a week. Had a kid-related mini-crisis this week that took up a lot of time. Certainly not a major problem in the grand scheme of the universe but in my tiny corner of the world, enough to stress me out for a few days. Don't you find that even tiny problems can really bug you? OK, enough. Let me try to focus.

Del.icio.us & Technorati. Signed up on both sites. They took the same user name - yeah! Spent some time exploring. Found Del.icio.us easier overall to navigate. Can't help but feel like I don't really get it this week. Not sure how these sites would benefit me in my daily life or work. Why are these better than a google search? I realize that you get comments from others and it is easy to see what links are most popular but that doesn't necessarily give them more credibility for me. I think I need to explore further.

Will watch my classmates' entries with interest this week. Hopefully someone will be super keen on one of these sites and be able to explain to me why it is useful.

My second poll closed. A clear majority of those polled prefer peanut M&Ms. Yum. This topic gave me the munchies. My new question has nothing to do with food.
