Week 2 has been a busy week. I've signed myself up for google reader which has enabled me to better keep a track of my buddies blogs as well as several of the library sites I've found interesting including LisNews and Library stuff. Ive also added tripple j podcasts. Although sadly I've discovered that the speakers on my computer are not working and that I must cull some of the music on my ipod to make room for podcasts...This could take a while.
I also had my first experience editing a wikipedia site this morning and have realised that the information on these sites is a lot more reliable than what I thought. I think the use of soft security (sort of like a neighbourhood watch on sites) is a great way to ensure that information on sites remains correct. I've also decided that having my own account is a much better option than open editing because it allows me to keep my privacy.
I chose to do a little editing on a wikipedia site about Manangatang, my home town. The information was accurate but I felt that it could be expanded upon. By the way, while I was searching wikipedia sites I found a great travel site http://wikitravel.org/en. So much more up to date than any travel book.
I signed up too to remain anonymous to the public. The travel wiki looks pretty good but I think I will still double check with Lonely Planet.
