Wikiwikiwikiwiki

I have seen wiki and I am now suffering from communication overload. Good grief. How much more connected are we going to get? There are probably uses for this, but most of what I've seen has been pretty ephemeral. I looked at the wiki site WetPaint.com and didn't really see anything interesting. Mostly silly stuff concerning cats and stuff.

videos won't play

Is it just me? I've tried to play videos on YouTube and now as part of the Wiki lesson but they won't play. It starts to play for 2-3 seconds, then stops for 10-15 seconds or so, then plays for a couple of seconds, then stops, then I get frustrated and give up. Anybody know what gives? I trying to play the video that explains what Wikis are.

YouTube

I'm already familiar with YouTube so this was fun. I set up an account which I'm not sure how I would actually use. The videos won't play, though. It plays briefly, then stops for a long time, then plays a little, then stops... Very frustrating.

Facebook

So I set up a Facebook account and browsed around the network to see if there was anyone I knew from high school there. Didn't recognize any of the people from my class who were signed up, but my graduating class was huge, so no surprise. The setup was a little confusing, but maybe one gets better at these things the more one does them...
