The new tools don’t always make sense right away and I tend to be a bit hesitant rather than “rah rah rah” check this out. And if I don’t get it, I tend to put it on the back burner for a while and then come back later with a fresh viewpoint. In fact, with delicious, one of my most popular tags is “comebacktolater” because I can see possible potential in the site but am not able to put my finger on just what that potential is.
And it is important at times to marinade. To take the time to figure it out and not put a stamp of approval on a tool that perhaps should not carry that stamp. My teachers depend a lot on my help and trust that when I present to them, it is tried and true and not just a whim. So, it it good sometimes, to not rush into the “newest and best” until I can say for sure that it is.
