Due to some oddness with the sound quality on my laptop when I tried doing a video post I had to abandon that idea and settle for this:
My experiences with social media/software have been generally limited to tools that promote communication (blogs, social networking) or multimedia (photo sharing and video sharing). I’ve been through the oh-so-emo phase of blogging on LJ (Livejournal) daily but old habits die hard and I do still lurk about some communities. I’ve recently overcome a FB (Facebook) addiction and no longer feel the need to check out what’s going on every spare minute I have. I have yet to be won over by microblogging but maybe this class will change that. I’m also hoping to learn about and play around with collaborative tools over the coming weeks. Most importantly, I hope to get (back) into the swing of working everyday and doing coursework so I can crank out some quality posts.
