Weekly Blog 1-24-10

Currently I am enrolled in cit 49900 and it has opened my eyes to the world of social media. and it is great! I didn't know that twitter could be used as productively as it has been. below are a list of some things I will touch on this week and most weeks.
* what you learned in class
I got a crash course on twitter, disqus, diigo, and the history of telecom. how to brand yourself with, this is an interesting topic because well it is something I didn't really ever think of until this class.
* your social media experiences
I have installed TweetDeck and also Seesmic Look. currently I am leaning towards TweetDeck because I like how it's layout is much cleaner then Seesmic Look. but both have its benefits. I will still use both for a while and see which i like better.
* your experiences with IT infrastructure products & services
this week i set up a Mac G4 with Tiger I believe. also I got my DL140G2 up and running for my VMware server XD i will probably install ESX on the box. I am currently running it through diagnostics to make sure the hardware is all 100% functional. ill know more once it is done.
* your progress on your course project
Currently i have only a few lines and a few websites gathered about what i am going to try to propose. I am still a little bit unclear as to exactly what I need to accomplish but it will work itself out.
