Wow, my first ever blog post! This empty white space is surprisingly nerve wracking, here's hoping it gets easier as the weeks go on as the feeling of frozen wordlessness is not a pleasant one...
The 23 Things programme is exciting for me as I'm both library staff and a part-time postgraduate student. The potential possibilities in the communication and learning tools afforded by Web 2.0 are endless, and this programme looks to be a well structured way to explore them and try them out. It was quite an eye opener to see how little of the tools I use regularly - with the exception of Facebook, and the occasional dabble with YouTube and Flickr I'm pretty much a complete novice!
I've always been a bit put off using some of the Web 2.0 technologies that are on the 23 Things list purely because without a reason to get started with them, they can appear a bit overwhelming, or even pointless, and exploring them without a purpose is rather like being parachuted into a strange town with no map. So thank you, 23 Things, for providing some directions!

Ah, the Outside World!
When you work in the underground 1970s time warp that is the RSL basement, the world above is a but a beautiful dream...
