So far, out of the technologly tools we have explored, I have seen some uses for a Facebook page, pearl tree (PLN), podcasts and possibly twitter. I plan to work within cardiac rehabilitation so podcasts in technology and medicine would have obvious merits in staying up to date in these respective areas. Pearl tree would help me stay organized both in my leisure interests as well as my career connections and resources. Depending where I worked and who I would know twitter would be of some use hypothetically, although more for me to obtain information rather than to be used as a platform to get my view points across. I just don't see myself using twitter in that form within the profession. Lastly Facebook would help me stay in touch with my colleagues as well as possibly making a fan page for a community event that would take place. Hopefully I get a little more aquainted with all these technology tools first because I'm not used to using some of them yet, however they can be of great use.
I'm in agreement about Facebook, it will probably be my most used technology going into the future. It really does let people get a sense for who you are outside the workplace while providing a vessel to exchange information and ideas informally

I like how the pearl tree keeps your interest and your career connections separate. I agree with Facebook keeps you connect to people across the world. Also you can look up pages that you can support your community which I am all about so I do agree with you.
