Well here is the end to guilt free Internet fun! Yes it has been fun, consuming, frustrating and rewarding.
So what about Social Networking. For the past 12 weeks I feel like I have already experienced a lot of social networking. Joining in with Wikis and Blogs are already very effective social networking tools especially if you follow other Blogs and create friends in Wikis. Even Flickr has a social networking aspect if you decide to 'share' your pictures. In my view Facebook is more like collecting cards or marbles; it seems to me that the idea is to see how many 'friends' you can collect. Most of the people who want to 'add you as a friend' would probably snub you in the street if you walked past them and living in a fantasy world is not really my cup of tea either. Knowing that these tools are out there will help me in dealing with customers. Our library (Riv. Regional Library) has just developed a Wiki and I have tried to be as active as possible so far.
There is no way one person could be active across all of these Internet services even if they wanted to. There are some things I will definitely keep using and others I won't. I have collected many of the websites we have visited in learing 2.0 and put them in Learning 2.0 folder in favourites (yes I know I could have use Del.icio.us but that would have involved another account!).
To wrap it up, I do feel much more empowered than I did at the beginning so thankyou for the opportunity to learn 2.0.
Ciao (yes I am continuing with my Italian)

arrivederci Kim! yes i'm glad we have come to the end- I've learnt a lot and I don't see how some of it can be used in the library environment, no doubt someone will let me know- but i'm glad I did it.

I think you've analysed the tools and how useful they will be for you quite thoughtfully ... I'm glad some of them will continue to be useful.
