KIN 710

Well the first session of summer school has now come to an end. I'm really excited that I know more about current internet applications then my boyfriend who is the computer tech. I have really enjoyed my time in KIN710. Now all I have to do is remember all of user names, passwords and accounts that I now have. This class was very valuable to me. Look out for my new blog which just be a free for all on all my thoughts and lifes happenings. Take care KIN 710

Early this morning I created a Library Thing account. This was pretty interesting. I like how it's so easy to use. The site doesn't get all in your business when you create an account. For the avid book reader this site would be a great tool to post reviews, see what you want to read next and chat with people who enjoy the same authors. I just wanted to have fun with some of the books I've added to my library. If you want check it out. I also put a link on this page to show you some of my books I've added so far. Well here is my library info...http://www.librarything.com/catalog/JThreat

Well I made this puzzle piece image of myself using http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/. This site was cool. You can manipulate an image of choosing using all sorts of templates. This tool would be a great gift to give someone a spiced up image. I suggest anyone try it and have fun. One of the great things about this site is you can link the site to your flickr account so once you are done with your image it will go straight to your online photo studio. So jump to it and have loads of fun!!!

Technorati

Technorati.com is pretty useful site when it comes to searching blogs. Lately i've been looking for peoples takes on graphic arts. I found a couple of blogs on that which were helpful. I was excited to see how easy it was to find my blog as well as my bestfriends fashion blog. I don't know how often I would use this site but I wll add it to my del.ici.ous.com account.

Another hidden Internet Jewel

I have fallen in love with del.icio.us.com. This site is amazing. I hate when cache is cleared and I can't remeber what site i'm looking for. I love how its electronic so where ever there is a computer I can utilize the site. The hardest thing for me is remembering where all these darn periods will go. For those of you don't know del.icio.us.com is a tagging social networking site where you can store links to certain websites you may have stumbled on. This site can be useful in every setting.

Podcasting. ummmm

I never really used podcast becaue I figured when would I use them. I also thought that they only would work on an MP3 Player and I didn't want to usee that storage space. Well after exploring a site called podcast.com I found many more uses for this feature. I found a couple sports medicine and exercise podcast. I put a rss feed to my google reader so I can stay in the know with all the happenings.
Youtube has a lot to offer. I can see this being used in a class setting just like how it is for Kin 710. I decided to post this video because it is of my God Sister. Can you guess which one she is.
