This was a great learning experience. I am impressed by the many methods to connect with people and information. The social bookmarking is especially useful for research and learning. I would like to see Kevins daily program schedule to learn how he uses these tools in an efficient and strategic way for work and learning. Thanks Kevin – the learning method was teriffic!

I incorporated a blog into my daily work routine, unfortunely, my co-workers are not paying much attention to it.
The blog is private so that it stays within the group. My plan is to continue using the blog and not give up on my co-workers.

In a handful of posts, the Challenge has provided a delightfully non-rocket science overview of what Social Media really is and of its possibilities beyond being a “marvelous toy”. The Common Craft videos are fantastic!
The material has been invaluable in preparing two white papers that I’m writing – one on the use of Web 2.0 for engineering support, and one on its use for real time flight operations.
It would be great to see the Challenge repackaged as a Social Media Primer. (Will email with a few more details.)

It is a great way to share knowledge and even help people to know about what all things are going on in the world of internet. I am sure that the post will surely be of great help to many people and it will surely enhance their knowledge and skills.
