This week has been a crash course in online file sharing. The knowledge I’ve gained may prove useful in future, however, in my current job role I don’t need to send or share large documents. If Dropbox had been around when I was at university, I’d have definitely made use of it for group presentation work.
I much prefer using Dropbox to GoogleDocs. I found Dropbox very user friendly and easy to install. The fact that it has a secure encryption to protect your files is an important selling point.
GoogleDocs has a nice range of templates for letters, forms and CVs and I’d rather use this feature than the file sharing option. I’m sure the Google corporation is tracking my every move as I try out yet another Google product. BigGoogle is watching us all: that’s the reality now it seems.
On the topic of wikis: I have used them as a reference source rather than contributing to one. The Local Government Library Technology wiki (http://lglibtech.wikispaces.com/Home) provides tech news updates for those working in UK public libraries.
I've enjoyed learning about the Library Routes wiki (http://libraryroutesproject.wikkii.com/wiki/Main_Page)
and will inform my colleagues about this.
