Wikis
I'm very impressed with the way wikis can present a large amount of information in a way that is easily understood. I think the pie chart on the front of Dialog's Quantum 2 wiki is terrific. I am astounded at how much good information i s being put up on the Internet. Technology Tapas has given me a content as well as technology boost. I think there are many uses for wikis, including ones like ours for policies and the others for such things as special events like conferences and institutional wikis. The ability to post comments and suggestions and easily share information will likely give wikis a long lifespan. I don't know how to keep open multiple wikis, but this problem is likely cause by my lack of expertise with Windows!

2.0 awards
Found imcooked.com under the "food" category. Has videos of how to prepare stuff. Looks helpful. Hope I have time to explore further, yum!
NYC Restaurants
Tried to export from Zoho Writer but ended up copying and pasting this:
I was asked by a staff member to recommend a few restaurants in New York. Last weekend I was at a very good and reasonable Mediterranean restaurant named Boyoglu (there's an accent on the "g" but couldn't find it under dropdown "insert special characters") at 1431 3rd Avenue, very convenient to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Two reasonable French restaurants are Tout Va Bien, 331 W 51st (theatre district), http://www.autoutvabien.com/, and Le Jardin Bistro, 25 Cleveland Place (near Spring and Lafayette streets) www.lejardinbistro.com (great creme brulee).

Yummy
I had signed up for del.icio.us a year or two ago and then sort of never got back to it. Like so many things 2.0 activities, it seemed to take time I didn't have. But after watching the podcast, I think I'll try again to see if I can make it work for me. For one thing, I hadn't explored the public tagging aspect.

RSS
While I understand what I am doing in theory, in practice I am having trouble navigating among the various web sites : technology tapas, blogger, blogspot, rss feeds. I hope this situation resolves itself because it is frustrating. So far, though, the frustration motivational. I hope this gets easier! Question: do blogger and blogspot intersect at any point? My blogroll is http://www.bloglines.com/public/cdaze
