I’ve really enjoyed learning about
the bookmarking and networking sites in module 2. The three that were discussed, Delicious,
Bitstrips and Twitter made me think of ways they can be used in my current profession.
I work in the Oil and Gas Industry doing
research. Sometimes I work alone and sometimes I work with a group. I have also
been put in charge of groups of abstractors and I can definitely see how these
technologies can help with communication and productivity. Twitter could be
used to communicate instructions or daily motivational messages to a group of
workers. In the past I’ve had problems with workers repeating the same
mistakes. Bitstrips would be an excellent way to communicate instructions in a
comedic way that may be more memorable so mistakes could be avoided. Delicious
would be a very useful tool. All websites from Clerk’s Office of records to historical
records sites could be bookmarked for all to use.
The only problem I foresee is with
using Twitter. There are so many distractions and one could easily waste a good
deal of time exploring twitter when they should be working. There could also be
a problem using Bitstrips. I would have to be careful about sending out a
message that could be seen as condescending or hurtful.
