CPL 2.0- Google Universe

I actually checked out quite a bit of the Universe- I didn't even know this existed. The Google Directory was interesting, a lot of scientific journals are accessible, usually just the abstract, but a surprising number have the full article. At first I was disappointed because it seemed to be all American but then I found the odd Canadian journal. I would recommend this site to people, just with an aside that they may have to make a bit of effort to find exactly what they want.

CPL 2.0- Facebook

I have found Facebook to be a useful tool for sending large number of pictures to friends but the rest of it I find to be a waste of time. If you want to have a bit of fun it's ok but I can see where it can be rather addicting.

CPL 2.0- Wikipedia

I looked for articles that had errors in spelling, etc but didn't find any. I have not edited any article yet because I am waiting on some confirmation on the subject that I was interested in. Editing seems to be fairly simple in Wikipedia and I practised some in the Sandbox.

CPL 2.0- Delicious

March 30/10

I really don't like Delicious, I don't find it user friendly and I always get frustrated. I try searching for subjects I am interested in- just to force myself to use it. I like the facts, not someone's interpretations of them, or their silly tags and bookmarks. If someone can make up a cheat sheet for this I would appreciate it. I will continue to look at Delicious more this week but I doubt if I will ever be comfortable enough to use this for a customer's search.
