Two of my favourite things during 23 dingen were Twitter and Facebook. I think that these two things are of the essence in social media and social networks. When you use Flickr, Google Maps, Library thing and all the other apps it all seems to revolve around Twitter and Facebook. At least at the moment..
23 dingen has made me and many other participants aware of the potential value of social media in a library context. I hope that is not all. I want to be active professionally especially on twitter and facebook. But I'm one of a generation for which this does not come naturally. See this interesting article by Chris van der Heijden De Groene Amsterdammer - Gegoogle . I will have to work at being an active user even if it is only professionally.
The possibilities of Facebook and Twitter surprised me as well. I was quite a sceptic a couple of years ago when the first Twitteraars began and Facebook was not nearly so popular as it is now. And even now I'm not enthusiatic about all the "dingen" - I don't think you have to be. I'm aware of the possiblilities of chatting for example and that's it. I prefer to concentrate on twitter and facebook.
I suppose what I missed during 23 dingen was the contact with the other participants. I discussed things regularly with Razende Roeltje and 1000 dingen... once in a while but it would have been good to have had a midway session with the whole group I think for example after ding #11.
Well that's it for now. I've just finished writing this literally hours away from the end of the course. Unfortunately I can't be present at the last meeting. So well done everybody and let's hope that we can follow it up as active social networkers. I'm going to try at least professionally
Due to pressure of time no pictures or video clips
