Final Thoughts on 23 Things

Final Thoughts: Each of the technologies have their uses the trick is in finding how to apply them, but not to get caught up using them because they are available. There is little point in using them unless they either make work more efficient, or add significant value to customers. I have to wonder what percentage of our customers uses each of these technologies unless they are required to do so.
Likes: I have to say for the most part I like it all. I enjoyed the freedom of informal writing through blogging, it was one unexpected outcome.
Dislikes: I have to say my only dislike about the tasks was having to register for each service. I have so many logins and passwords now that I can't keep track, and I'm not writing them down! Some day OpenID will proliferate through the internet and we will only require on login to rule them all.
Enjoyable: Honestly it was all enjoyable if given a chance. Some of it felt like work but once the outcome was achieved it was good to blog about it.
Irrelevant: I'm not going to say that I found some of it irrelevant, as I said earlier the technologies all have their place. I initially found that I might have little use for Delicious but that may change and I also have little reason to create a wiki but I certainly appreciate all those who do contribute to wikis so the rest can read them and extract information.
Well those are my thoughts on the 23 Things, I promise I won't stop blogging.
