Task No. 23

I have finally reached the 23rd 'thing' where I have been asked to comment and give feedback about my experience with 23 Things. I will keep this brief and to the point.

I am more of a 'serious' personality than a 'fun' type although I don't mind having fun now and again - otherwise I would go crazy. I will start with the negative stuff. The Things I found least interesting about this exercise was the Blog itself, Flickr, Facebook + MySpace (by the way, I was given an elephant stamp for 'completing' the Facebook / MySpace task when I didn't even touch it), iGoogle, Delicious and Instant Messaging. Having said that, I can totally understand why a lot of people love these. I am just not a "clubby" type person. To quote Woody Allen, "I would not want to be a member of a club that would have me as a member" if that makes any sense.

On the more positive side, I enjoyed playing around (didn't I just say I was not a 'fun' type of person?) with Image Generators, RSS Feeds, Google Maps, Google Book Search, Google Scholar, YouTube and listening and watching Podcasts.

All in all, although I was tearing my hairs (I don't have that many) out a times, it was a very enjoyable and worthwhile exercise.
