Interesting!
I think things like this would be a good idea to be using here at Brasenose between my boss and I. We have a few documents that we both use but have been emailing our parts of them to each other, whereas an online workspace would definitely be the way forward!
Winterspring mentions Huddle in her blog, commenting that it is better for larger files, such as excel spreadsheet. and is good for sharing so think I may try that.

Googling Doccies
Ooh that was fun! I just shared a rather random couple of written lines with the organizers of this project with the message - Billy no-mates has no one to share this with! Hmm perhaps I should've written something vaguely interesting! Oops...Hope they don't mind.
This Thing has quite got my attention, I have never used online office applications before. It seems very simple to use and looks to be a very handy tool.

Wikis and Wikipedia
The Oxford web 2.0 wiki is really useful, though I couldn't find anything to edit but I will be lsiting my library facebook page on there as soon as it's public! :)
As for Wikipedia, I love it for it's endless information and often refer to it for finding out *stuff*

Twittering away...
...Well not quite yet!
I have made a start, attempted at making a conversation and am following a couple of things. It's all very exciting but somewhat confusing right now! :/
Much exploration is needed here thats for sure and then I will be confidently tweet tweeting away! Hurrah! :)

Hmm...OK...So I signed up and created a profile but thats as far as I've got as I really don't know what or how I would use it. :/
It's just left me all a bit bewildered really!

Oh dear I feel like I am getting behind with it all, so much to do and so little time! 0_o
Anyway...
I have been using Facebook for quite a while now. I like it in the fact I can keep up to date with all my chums as they live all the over place and see some of them so rarely.
I am also in the process of setting up a library facebook page in which I'll be able to keep students, especially the graduates, up to date with library issues, announcements, also a link to LibrayThing to show new books and where students can leave comments and feedback etc etc. I am (rather sadly) quite excited about this as it's a good, simple way to to keep everyone informed! :D

PodTube
I already had an YouTube account and quite often find myself watching daft cartoons or music vidoes on it. So first of all I subscribed to one my favourites for cheering me up - Simon's Cat - It is just *so* my fella's cat! :D
Then for this task I checked out some library induction videos and oh my what a lot there are! :/
I have managed to watch some and added a couple to my favourites so I could easily find them to show my boss as we are desperately trying to come up with new ideas as for a new video for next time. Last years was funny and quirky in a* homemade* kind of way.
I use iPlayer all the time for listening or watching a variety of programmes from the radio and TV. But Podcasts...Hmm...I hadn't really explored them before, though when I looked at podcastalley and podcast I think my head exploded! Seriously EEP! How many??? Where to start??? What to start with??? Oh my goodness! To ease my confusion I went and had a looksie at Oxford University and listened to a couple. Then, feeling brave, went back to podcast.com and subscribed to some sci-fi! RAH! :D
