Week 9 Thing # 23

Hurrah, I am done. I was beginning to think I would never get here. I really like the ZohoWriter, numerous times I have tried to open documents only to be told that I don't have the correct software. This will eliminate that problem. It was also just as easy to use as the microsoft products that I am familiar with. There were several of the things that I had no desire to learn about and doubt that I will ever use. On the other hand there are others that are very interesting and fun. The Avatar is one that I have no idea what I would ever use it for, but it was fun creating it. I can see where YouTube has it's uses (my son acutally had to watch several video clips on it for an on-line Sociology class he took this summer), but some of it is ridiculous. It is good to know a little bit about all of these things, so they we at least know what people are talking about. One of things I didn't like was needing to register for everthing separately. I understand that they are all seperate sites, but a universal login would have cut down on alot of the time needed to complete the program. Yes, I would participate in another program like this, if I had the time, there were many good points addressed.

Week 9 Thing # 22

I established an account with the Netlibrary. It was easy to set up and navigate. I do not think that this is a resource that I will use, although I can see the need for some people.

Week 9 Thing # 21

I couldn't get the RSS link to work when I tried to add this one to my blogline.The link does work when you click on it. It is a podcast about monthly author talks. http://podcasts.yahoo.com/player?s=035aad80a00e3c672fe723f43007a84b&e
This one was easy to add to my blogline, but I also gave you the link from here.

It's amazing how many different podcasts are out there. I found sites from children's materials to porn. It's kind of scary how easy it all is to navigate, especially when you think how smart our kids are with knowing their way around the web.

Week 9 Thing # 20

Hi there 23 thinger's I found a dandy on youtube. I'll bet you never knew that there is a national underwear day. Well I found it on youtube. Just click on the link and enjoy. I think some people have way to much time on their hands. http://youtube.com/watch?v=MtiUX2l3LaI

Week 8 Thing # 19

I chose local.yahoo.com to explore. This is a site that I have used many times in the past, but I had not explored the different things that it offers. I liked being able to get local information and having the ability to rate the different businesses. I have used it to find driving directions for patrons. They also have a easy to navigate e-mail system.

Week 8 Thing # 18

This is pretty much the same as working in word. Only it seems to me that there are more features. So far it has been easy to navigate. laughing
This wasn't bad at all. I imported whats in yellow form my Zoho writer account. I can really see the benefits of using this. No more worry's about having the right software.
