Week 8 Lesson 19 - On Line Apps

I am so frustrated... I signed up on Zoho and had a very hard time just creating a document, then when I finally did, I could not get it to publish to my blog. So I am giving up. I will just use microsoft word when needed.

Week 8 Lesson 18 - Social Networking

I already had a myspace acct. I set it up to keep track and in touch w/my grandson. I did go through all the other sites. The ones that I joined were RatemySpace and linkedin and I will go back and join Threadless. I am very excited about Ratemyspace, did not know it existed and I will be using that one a lot more than any of the others & Threadless looks very interesting, but linkedin I will probably never use.

Week 7 Lesson 17-Something Technical

I have already stated in previous blogs that anything to do with picture editing I really enjoy and will continue to use, the rest of the stuff I have learned about so far is not very interesting to me, especially wiki's.

Week 7 Lesson 16-Wikis

I thought Wikipedia was just like an encyclopedia, everything in it is factual, but now I know it's not true and I will not be using it again. My understanding is anyone can write anything they want, so how could you ever trust whatever you read in any wiki.

Week 6 Lesson 15 - Libraries 2.0

I read all five of the perspectives, the main thing I got from them is thank God I will be retiring in the near future because it sounds like most library employees will no longer be needed.

Week 6 Lesson 14 Technorati

I claimed my blog and pulled it up by using a tag, that was ok. I am getting way too many usernames and passwords to keep up w/everything.
I think there are other ways to get info, this was just a little to complicated for me to get into it.

Week 6 Lesson 13 Tagging

I had a hard time getting through this one, I kept ending up at photo sites (mainly picnik & flickr) and wanted to play around w/them. I am using tagging now on my pictures and that helps.
I watched the Del.icio.us tutorial but I need to watch it again, I kept getting interrupted at work and my computer at home is too slow to watch it. I agree it was very fuzzy and I couldn't see the examples.
I'm sure, like the previous lessons, I will come back to this at a later date and discover that it is very useful.
