#35 What a twit

This reminds me of the men you see in supermarkets who have to ring home to their wife to find out which aisle the potatoes are in. A constant need to be in touch has got to be unhealthy. It is like text messaging but on a PC, instant messaging has been around for a while. I had an Aunt once who had to tell me in minute detail what she had been doing all day ( she was my Aunt so I listened) For many others I would have to say a big ( talk to the hand)

#34 Fit (OK already I am trying don't nag)

Well this is also a bit of nonsense, if I was organised enough to fill in each morsel I eat etc etc, then I would be walking every morning without fail and filling in points books and religiously adhering to diet regimes (not happening Jan) When I saw the title of this exercise I thought something useful. The better health channel wins hands down on these sites, include recipes ,tools, health facts

#33 arty

Me, I love the snowflake maker it reminds me of a Kaleidoscope I had many moons ago.

#32 Storage plus

omnidrive sounded good but every time I tried to register it had problems it kept hitting an internal error. Imagine if that happened while trying to access an important document . A free account must be accessed every 60 days or it will be lost. I do like the idea of storing this amount.
Google docs can hold a lot as well but this site has the added image tool if only I can get in ( I will return )Finally tackled boxnet storage with success has many possibilities including faxing ,permanent url and posting direct to a blog.

#31 Organised, who me?

Plaxo is yet another organiser but with with links to others but it could be intrusive. You can do a lot of this with lotus. I don't , I tend to rely on the old diary simply because I like to take info with me (maybe when I own a blackberry I would input all info as it is, I see it as a doubling up on input) Care must be taken setting up, each level of privacy needs to be specified otherwise it is open slather. I won't be subscribing to anything life is too short and my downloads are too small. Just how many people do you want to have your email address. If you are a totally Internet activated phone orientated person who can not bear your own company it might work for you.
At work if linked only to your team it may be useful to synchronise meeting information, training notes, professional reading etc but could be a time wasting not a time saving tool.

# 30 lolcats

Well this is a pretty bit of nonsense that could be utilised for creating posters etc. However this is not a reliable platform much of this could be created just using adobe or another graphic program even paintshop possibly. Little old puddy tat lolling in the blue yonder

#29 Scraps

Scrapbloging: Just how much time could you spend on this one (and then some ) scraps will be it from me, so far to go so little time . Could possibly see this used on a library website to promote an author talk but dedicated time is required for this one to look good. It is getting a bit repetitious here different sites using similar techniques.Scrapblog server was down a couple of times and flickr was having a massage? so will come back to it
