I just participated in the webinar and can hardly believe that 23 Things Kansas is coming to an end. We were given so many things to learn about it makes my head spin. I am one of these people who love to learn new things but easily gets intimidated. Everything was done is such a way that it wasn't hard to do.
I was always confused my cloud computing and really didn't know what it was but thanks to 23 Things Kansas I understand it! Blogging was not my thing but I'm starting to like it. Facebook and Twitter were things I was already doing. My computer crashed a few months ago and learning more about Flickr and Picasa prompted me to put my pictures on those sites. I was using Flickr and have since switched to mostly using Picasa. I find it more user friendly. Shelfari and Delicious were fun to learn about. I'm not sure how much I will personally use them but I now know what others are talking about. I haven't done the screen casting yet. I find that assignment really is scarry but tomorrow I'm going to bite the bullet and do it! Check back to see what I've done with it. I dabbled with Ning but they have now changed and are starting to charge you to use it.
The thing I enjoyed the best was slide sharing. I used Animoto and fell in love with it. I've made slide shows of my coworkers, my dog, of get togethers with friends, and flowers. I have posted a lot of them to my blog but have also sent them to friends. Since I'm having so much fun with it I now am thinking about paying for the "pro" package for it. I want to find more sites like it and try them out.
I hope everybody had as much fun with 23 Things Kansas as I did!

Hi All!
I've been on Facebook for a couple of years now and have had lots of fun with it. Not only have I been able to catch up with friends from school who I haven't seen but I've made some new ones. People laugh when I say I play the games that are offered on Facebook but you never know who you might meet. I've meet a person in Canada that shares my first name and a person in Ohio who not only shares a first name similar to mine but our last names are almost the same-one spelled ie and the other ei-and pronounced the same. We decided to become friends just for that. I've also meet a former Kansan who was living in Nebraska. I was one of the first people on Facebook that she told about her family moving back to Kansas. Boy, was she excited about that! I've also became friends with a people in Malaysia, Sweden, India, and England.
Even though I've never have come face to face with these friends I've found that you get attached to them. Whenever I've not been of Facebook for awhile I find I get messages asking if I'm okay. I find myself sending notes when I've noticed someone hasn't been on for awhile. Most the time they are like me and just hadn't had the time but every now and then they've been sick or had some other problems. It's always nice to know that out there in the world someone does notice and cares.
I've also had a relative (who I didn't know) find me on Facebook. I had to ask my mother if it was legit. I found out through her and my long lost relative that my grandfather and his grandmother had been very close. I also keep up with my cousins with Facebook. We live in the same town but all have very different schedules. Sometimes this is the only way we keep in touch.
Good luck and happy friend finding on Facebook to all of you!
