Facebook



Why do you think social networking sites are so popular? What are the main appeal factors?

Social networking sites are so popular because you can reconnect and stay connecting with people. You can follow your favourite website or keep up to date with a cause. You can also share things about yourself. I think that in itself answers the other question on the main appeal factors!


For you, is Facebook useful or a time-waster?

Facebook is useful and a time-waster. Love to keep up with the people who have let me be their friend(s), keep up with my interests and share a bit about myself. Sometimes I stay up a little later than I should or use it when I am board at home. It is a love/hate relationship on a few levels!

Wikipedia



Wikipedia: Were you able to find a topic obscure enough that Wikipedia doesn’t cover it?

I would say no congradulations for me! What does it not cover Wikipedia? I tried even a few silly topics like "Brain Farts" and even my last name and it's origins. I think I would need much more time to find a topic obscure enough that I could, "wow" and post!
I love the fact that the information on this site is at hand and that it is open so people can edit, add, etc. all the pop culture topics and then some, but to use it as a TRUE reliable source. I would be careful!

Delicious


How comfortable are you using Best Websites, after this practice? Do you have any tips for using Best Websites on Delicious?

It is very interesting how you can group information together or narrow down information Delicious.
I want to honestly admit that I am still getting use to it and would like Delicious to become second nature instead of feeling like I am stumbling along.
Any tip I would give is you should learn and use any resource to keep your skills up and make it second nature for when an information search comes up!
