Thoughts on 23 Things

Overall, I enjoyed learning about all the new 'things' of Web 2.0. While it may not directly help me with my customers, who mostly are into 'My Space', it gives me a broad base of understanding of what is actually out there. Most people that I know outside of the library field have never heard of wikis, blogs, & other cute little technie things, so I feel like I've gained some arcane knowledge of the future of the Internet.
In particular, I found that I could actually use what I learned about online bookmarking and office applications. Very practical. However, most of the 23 Things were simply recreational and only appealed to my intellectual curiosity.
One major drawback to learning the 23 Things is that the instructions to accomplishing a particular challenge were not broken down into the smallest incremental steps. It presumed that the user had some knowledge of the process and could learn intuitively. You should always start with the basics and build, bit by bit, from that point. No step should be considered insignificant. Then the student can be successful and feel good about the project.
