So i actually miss blogger. Ive been having a break from all this learning and now Im back! I have been using facebook and I just dont like it. The only thing I see good about it is you can find friends you havent seen in a while as some people seem to be doing, not me. I havent tried to find school friends, since its been a WHILE since ive been to school I have no interest in contacting anyone. If I wanted to stay in contact I would have called them yes I know telephones are soooo old fashioned but its better than this typing business. Actually I dont really know anyone who uses the interent to stay in contact.
Back to facebook, it seems like an advertisers dream. There are all these quizes I keep getting I try to do them but I need to add a ceertain amount of friends to be able to do it. then of course which ever company does these then gets the emails of all my friends cause my email can be seen on facebook also my full name whcih I do not like. Since ive joined facebook I have had many shocking emails from all kinds of businesses of course they are rude pornographic things. You see im not interested in meeting people for intimate evenings whether they are the same sex or groups of. I was also getting many pop ups that my ant virus software was not picking up I finally managed to get rid od them by going to Tools, Manage add ons then blocking it from there. I had to figure this out on my own after I called big pond thinking they could help me and they said I'd have to take my computer back to dell to have a system clean up. WHAT CRAP. Why didnt they tell me to just do what i did. All these problems started happening when I joined face book so GOODBYE FACEBOOK I am going to take my profile off as soon as I can figure this out.
Its back to Blogger for me and learning more about technology at least then I can feel like there is a point to all of this.
The other day I had a patron say how they use Wikipedia with helping their child with their homework, in the past I would have been a bit iffy about this but after doing Learning 2.0 I was confident that this was a good idea and said so. At work they are looking at integrating many of the things we learnt into our web site such as RSS feeds etc. thanks to 2.0 I know what they are talking about and cant wait to see what they come up with.
So BLOGGER RULES!

I don't understand why Zoya you don't trust all those emails with offers for you to meet new people... all the people in pics with those emails all tend to have those perfect model looks - just showing you how realistic the opportunities are!
Good to see you back blogging, it has been pretty dull without having your blog to check up on.
So you've been opening these e-mails have you? I think you just enjoy seeing me makeing all these mistakes and seeing what us mere mortals are up to in techno land very funny.
