January 11 - Getting organised

Had fun with iGoogle - the sheer scope of available themes made it hard to choose just one but fun to search for and flick through what was there. I'm sure I'll be back to change my theme againa and again and again. I re-set my Googlemap to default to South Grafton and selected Coffs for my weather section (even though it's always a few degrees cooler there than here at Grafton). I've got a clock, news, and my gmail.
Next I'll just have to work out how to go about adding-in links to my various blogs, etc. Overall, I quite like this application. I can see some changes a'happening!

I checked out Ping and decided that were I far more active on Facebook, Twitter , etc then something like that or any of the 7 ways of managing social networks would be really useful - depending on what I actually wanted to do. What delays me using such tools is that generally I have a different group of friends on the various applications I use and aside from updating profile info (like an email address) across them all I doubt I'd atually want to post the same thing to the all. My use of Facebook is different to my use of Twitter. I have a different range of friends on each and I guess a different use for each. Facebook is more of my 'fun' application, whereas I use Twitter more for Library stuff - I kind of like it that way. Perhaps if my use of my various applications changed then I might make use of these other tools - it's nice to know they're there at least.

I'm not too sure about 43 marks, but I do like All My Favs. I think it's primarily the visual aspect that makes the first relatively unappealing and the other much more appealing.

At this point I'd add a screen shot of my iGoogle page but I'm having troubles with that - perhaps I simply haven't had enough coffee yet. I also have a distinct feeling that the answer is extremely obvious and simple. I know it will come to me...... soon....... maybe.........

When I work it out I'll post it to this blog.

Now I'm off to boil the kettle and pour myself another cup of coffe - I'm bound to be bouncing off the walls by this afternoon!
