Thing 22 - Staying Current
The "23 Things" have shown shown me "Things" that I wouldn't have explored otherwise. Some I knew about, but was not interested in trying. Others were a complete eye opener. This project has been good educational experience overall.

Thing 21 - Student 2.0 Tools
This was a helpful new "Thing" to me. The assignment calculator would be great with some of my school assignments. My favorite support material was the Taking Notes form, which I printed to use right now.

Thing 20 - Books 2.0
This "Thing" introduced the Kindle 2, which I fell in love with. The audio aspect is great! I want one when they have color for the photos. Once again I ran into some of the sites wanting you to join to get information, so those were out of the running for me. My favorite "Things" in this section are: BooksinMyPhone, What Should I Read Next?, Bookmarked, Booksprouts, Open Culture, Metacritic and BookBrowse. Open Culture offers free online courses from some great Universities. In the optional section I liked Sillybooks.

Thing 19 - Other Social Networks
I liked the few "Things" I was able to view without joining - WebJunction, Film Crave and What's on my Bookshelf. Ning, Gather and Flixter made you join with them to explore the website. I would have liked to have taken a class or two with WebJunction, however I quickly changed my mind when I saw $40 charges attached to each.

Thing 18 - Facebook and MySpace
This "Thing" is very popular today with alot of people. I don't care for it, maybe due to my free time limitations. If I were having extra time to kill or secluded away from human contact, this "Thing" would be quite attractive.
Thing 17 - Podcasts
For this "Thing" I added CNN's RSS feed to my Blog Reader account. I like getting the haedline news sent to me automatically as it's released. I am not going to sign up for GCAST, because I'm not creating a podcast.
