This week was a bit difficult. I had e-mail problems both with my work account and my sfsu.edu account. Either one would receive for forward e-mails to join the social networking of "socialtext." So while everyone was logged in and writing their short story in class, I was still trying to get a confirmation e-mail. Frustrating to say the least...
A last, Ethan comes to the rescue. he is patient and worked out all the craziness. Finally got registered onto "socialtext." Now I forgot my socialtext user name and password. :-( There are so many on-line tools and sites to utilize, register, and learn. The number of user names and passwords to remember is killing me. I will eventually sign up for flock, and place all things onto one easy interface within the web browser. Will do this very soon.....hopefully.
It was great to have a speaker this week. It seemed more of an info session, than a true discussion. Yet, I learned much about the social networking and the impact on work groups within companies/education. The internal and secure wiki as work spaces I think are a great idea!
