Were you able to successfully set up your RSS feed? If not, where did you run into problems? If you were successful, does this make information-gathering more convenient for you?
I managed to set up a RRS feed it wasn't hard to do. It seemed to sign me up for more that i wanted so I had to edit them and remove the ones I was not interested in. I am not sure that I will use this very often but time will tell. The information I got was definately at my fingertips, I didn't have to go seaching it was all right there so maybe I will start to use this.

Well Google definitely has a lot to offer. Google earth can not be downloaded on a staff computer so was not able to do this at work, however have looked at it before and it was wonderful to see places I grew up in.
I went into labs and tried Aardvark... the first question I asked was too short ???!!! I then asked the question "why do questions have to be a certain length?" It liked that question but to get an answer I would have to join Aardvark. Yet another way for your information to be in a computer, will not recomend this.
Google script converter is good (in labs).

For you, is Facebook useful or a time-waster?

Facebook is a total time waster.

How easy or difficult was it to find articles that needed editing? Were the errors you found factual or grammar / spelling?

I didn't find errors in the subjects that I chose. I did go into the edit function however and played in the "sandbox". I feel confident in my abilities to edit any text in wikipedia that I come across that is wrong.

How comfortable are you using Best Websites, after this practice? Do you have any tips for using Best Websites on Delicious?

After losing "best web sites" on CPL's home page after so many years it was strange to go else where. It really isn't so bad :-) I have no problem looking up a subject and often am pleasantly surprised at what I find. The general ones that we use alot are tagged on the edge, otherwise, just type in the subject and voila.

Which aspect of Web 2.0 are you the most intrigued (or scared) by?

It all scares me...
Security is the biggest part of doing anything online that scares me the most. You are told that everything is safe and secure and then next day a report comes out of a security breach. I don't believe anything linked to a computer is 100% safe and secure and it would take an awful lot to connvince me other wise.

Wow!! I'm blogging...baby steps
