It’s hard to believe this is the final post in this series! For Thing 23, I will reflect on my previous posts and what I have learned. It has been 1244 days since I started this journey–my first post went up on 20 February 2019. Favourite pArts and Surprises I most enjoyed the parts of… Read more Thing 23: Reflection

Thing 22: Fun and Play
The penultimate Thing focuses on having fun in digital spaces and suggests playing around with apps like Just a Line, an app which allowed users to create and share video animations of simple drawings; Dubsmash, a lip-synching app, or Snapchat, a messaging app that focuses on sharing pictures or short videos which are promptly deleted… Read more Thing 22: Fun and Play
Thing 20: Professional Social Networks
It can be easy to forget how new professional social networking is. Consider the students who enter university at eighteen in the autumn of 2022. They were born in the year Facebook was launched! Most young people, in other words, have never experienced a world without the social internet. Most researchers, on other hand, are… Read more Thing 20: Professional Social Networks

Thing 7 – Twitter
Todays ‘thing’ focuses on Twitter. I love using Twitter! I use it every day for work. However, I didn’t know you could create lists of specific Twitter users so I had a look…This is a very useful feature for my Twitter account as it meant I could cat…
Thing 13

Social Media
I am on Facebook & Twitter but more to keep aware of people & events & keep up with what’s happening at the library. When I get home I don’t want to be in front of a screen too much (& my eyes appreciate it:)) so I tend to do jigsaw puzzles and read (IContinue reading “Social Media”
Quickly on wikis
This is one of the #23things which links today’s internet with its historical origins. It is based on:”collaborative websites which can be directly edited merely by using a web browser…by anyone with access to it”. That quote comes from Wiktionar…
Thing 8 – Facebook
Around the world more than 1.62 billion people log onto the social media platform Facebook on a daily basis (I have to admit to being one of those Facebook fans), and 5 new Facebook profiles are created every second (Zephoria Digital Marketing, October 2019). Thing 8 explores some aspects of this highly popular social media …
Thing 7 – Twitter
With so many social media platforms to choose from it is hard to find enough hours in the day to be ‘social’. I tend to stick with one or two platforms, and while I do have a Twitter account, I use it more as a quick source of information (current events, news updates) rather than …
