week 5 thing #12 week 6 thing #13 14

I just created a rollyo search engine for my blog. I never knew that such a website existed. It was actually a great experience because when i tested it out, I found everything that I wanted on the websites that I'm familiar with. I have permanently set a rollyo searchbar on my blog just in case anyone wants to search for anything that has to do with entertainment.

del.icio.us is a pretty good website that logs down all of the bookmarks that you would want. it's useful because rather than having the bookmarks only on one computer, you can access your bookmarks through any computer if you have your del.icio.us account. I see how the library could use this site to benefit the public. Instead of having them scavenge through the multitude of information that is the internet, they could go to our bookmarks and narrow down what kind of information they're looking for.

Technorati is cool because they're like a big brother of blogs. I wonder if they have access to mine right now... kind of scary.

week 5 thing # 11

So I usually go on web 2.0 stuff during my normal internet usage, but I never knew that they were considered web 2.0... Anyway one of my favorite sites from the list is YOUTUBE. I don't think I have to explain what you tube does because whenever you mention internet video... you automatically think of you tube. Ever since internet video started becoming more mainstream, we no longer need shows like America's Funniest Home Videos or what not. Youtube has such a large selection of random videos and clips from tv shows that it makes me wonder if we're still going to be watching tv in the future. Downloading and streaming videos is currently booming. Missed that episode of LOST? All you have to do now is log on and download it. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you don't have to work around the network's schedule anymore. Most of the entertainment is under your control. Here's a fun clip that I found off of youtube. ENJOY!


week 4 thing #8, 9, 10


bloglines is definitely cool. I signed up for some random RSS feeds. Most of them are geeky technological stuff because I'm a sucker for numbers. I got some music feeds which help me keep up with the pop culture. I already use the rss function on my yahoo homepage, so most of the information that i want pops up right when I open my browswer. heres the link to rss me. I just went to an online generator site that creates dummy books. I thought that this would be appropriate for the library 2.0 program. If I actually published it, I could make millions off of teenagers.
