Week 8-Discovering Web 2.0 Award Sites

Discovering the new sites was interesting.

I wanted a music sharing tool for my blog, but didn't like the ones suggested so I stole Nick's site from his blog! Thanks Nick. Will add more songs when I download my ipod into it.

Checked out http://www.cocktailbuilder.com/. What's not to like about this. I feel thirsty already! Is it 5 o'clock yet???

As you can see I loved http://www.librarything.com/. See bookshelf on right.

http://www.games2web.com/ I remember playing Space Invaders all through teachers college...I am old! So now you can play too...scroll to the bottom of this page to have a go!

I feel sooo guilty!! This is fun!

Week 8 ZOHO Writer




I quite like this. I like the idea of being able to have my documents at my fingertips without remembering to bring a disc etc. Quite a useful tool. Who thinks up this stuff!!!????

Thanks Deb

Yesterday I really made a conserted effort to get through this program....so in the middle of waiting for the holiday program to be designed etc I travelled through Wikis, RSS feeds, Del .icio. us us etc etc etc. Loved all those ideas, but secretly thought..."More usernames, passwords, email authentication...am I going to visit these sites again?"
This morning I chatted to Deb, who told me that I could place my RSS feeds onto my internet explorer, so I could see them when I was online! Well what she may have thought was simple, finally put it together for me! Thanks Deb.
I now know that i can have feeds on my Internet Explorer favourites! (Not just through Bloglines)
I now know that I have my favourites bookmarked at Del.icio.us
I now know how to place my favourite YouTube clips on to my blog
I now think I will spend a bit more time on my facebook site...and put all this enthusiasm into a site I can share with my friends.

On to the end of the program!

del.icio.us


I loved del.icio.us. I'm always frustrated when I use different computers that my favourites are lost...so now the perfect solution. Thanks!
