This was spread throughout IME. It brings a smile to my face everytime I watch it. I found it very inspirational that an institution was able to get such wide spread involvement of the employees with in its organization. I believe HealthPartners can do something big like this too.

Need input.... How do I make an avatar?

RSS

Wow! The RSS... I didn't know about it before. I chose this feature after viewing the webinar provided by the librarians. I had never thought about the icons prior to this. I like the fact that I could add all of my interests to one site. It is kind of like adding sites to the Favorites Tab but easier. The YouTube video was really easy to understand spiking my interest. However, most of the sites I visit regularly, I found did not have RSS feeds. I like that I can copy and paste the site and a feed will be made if one does not exist. I am curious if I can make folders or titles with a breakdown of RSS feeds in each to limit the amount of titles I have to scroll through.

I feel like a world my 12 yr old son already knows about is available to me. Yeah!!! By subscribing to the Google Reader, I have learned about the calendar and document feature. I really like these. I am hoping that I can combine my outlook calendar from work with this calendar. Does anyone know how to do this?

My interest has been spiked. I am getting excited for new learning opportunities.

Gained new knowledge

New knowledge that surprised me was that many of the functions of Web 2.0 I use already and didn't realize it. Web 2.0 seems to be inbedded into many internet sites I utilize. What is disturbing to me is that my son knows more about this technology than I do. I still have a long way to come. I see the benefit in research collaboration and education purposes. The social networking aspect of Web 2.0 allows people to reunite and remain in contact offering a wonderful way to stay in contact.
