  Hi Dean
  
  This is all fascinating mind boggling stuff :). Sorry I wasn't able to be at one of the workshops.
  
  Glad things are going well for you.

  Hi Dean - great work again. I esp. like your simple definitions - bet the other participants will as well.
  
  PS does this count as my blog post for the competition?
  
  All the best.

  G'day Roe, how very nice to see your name against the first comment. I hope that you are keeping well, and it's great to see that you are still taking care of the APEN family. Dean

  Austin, good to catch up with you also. I don't know about allowing this comment as the comment for the comp.
  
  A power user like yourself should be able to come up with something spectacular. Maybe we could let it sneak through if you have a good podast and online video to share.
  
  Looking forward to seeing your blog.

  Hi Dean,
  
  Thanks for your input at the workshop, it was great to meet you & to see some cool Web 2.0 technologies.
  
  I will try to submit an entry in your competition as I'm rapidly becoming hooked on WIKI's. I've been meaning to work my way through the items on your list, but after your presentation I had a good look at iGoogle & I've been totally absorbed finding and adding useful gadgets and services ever since. There are some great tools available in there!
  
  Anyway, thanks again for exposing us to some excellent technologies.
  
  Regards
  Shane

  Hi Shane, thanks for dropping by iGoogle is very handy because a lot of people use it everyday anyway. You can combine gMail with your google reader (another free RSS reader option). Thanks for all your efforts on Thursday, Shane. And go luck in th free Wiki Comp. Dean

  Hi Dean
  i am going for part marks. The workshop was a great intro - being comfortable using those things will take some time.
  - Listened to Dr Karl on triple J talking about albatroses travelling 8,000 km to feed their young.
  - Tried to watch a chasers war video but pulled out when it asked for my dpi username and password.
  - Found an interesting blog of an extreme sport chap kayaking off huge waterfalls, climbing cliffs etc No message left, leaving this message instead.
  cheers Roger

  Hi Dean,
  Thanks for your overview of the technology you use, it really was an eye opener - seems to be the sort of things DPI should be embracing not only for external clients, but for faciliating internal communication. I can see heaps of applications for our group alone.
  Anyway, I've had a go at the challenge:
  Downloaded and listened to an ABC podcast - the health report talking about how food manufacturers are helping the obesity epidemic along by the inclusion of fructose in a huge range of products.
  Watched a clip on YouTube - a bit slow on the home computer - buffalo attacking lions, which attacked buffalo, crocodile gets involved etc
  Had a look at a few blogs, tried to leave a message on Mal Turnbull's re. his lovely red speedos - but couldn't work out how - maybe it's not allowed?
  Cheers
  Melina

  hi melina, well you successfully left a comment on this blog so good for you. that completes your trifecta, you are in the draw. i totally agree that the first market for these tools is the industry itself. if you think about how much information is created in the industry and how much we are able to easily and effortlessly access. enjoy your web 2.0 journey. Dean
