Week 10: #23 Is this really the end? Or just the beginning... - POST

My favorite discoveries were the avatars,bloglines, and youtube.

It helped my goals on this cause I didn't know if I was able to finish the project. But I did, and I learned more about blogging than I ever knew.

Overall it was pretty easy to do a blog and get it started.

An idea is probably to have a blog about people that read books and recommending them to other patrons.

I would probably hold off on other web 2.0 programs, till I get more experience on the ones that I just learned.

Week 9: #22 Downloadable Media - POST

The downloadable media is really interesting. I never downloaded a book or audiobook, now that I kind of familiarized myself with I think I will download one. The HCPL Ebranch has quite a large title base. The HCPL website was really easy to use since I already have a library card. There were some titles on the website that looked interesting.

Week 9: #21 Podcasts, Smodcasts! - POST

Podcasts are really cool, I found interesting ones on music bands interviews. I sometimes listen to the podcasts that the radio stations do on artists. There are a lot of podcasts out there for just about every subject. I subscribed to the thisishouston podcast.

Week 9: #20 Discover YouTube and other video sharing sites - POST

I have experience using youtube.com websites whether i'm looking for music videos, live performances of bands, or seeing random things that they have on there. I think you can probably find anything on there that you are looking for. I've found movie trailers on there before they were posted on the official websites. I looked for this video of my favorite band TOOL, I didn't embedded it from youtube, but I got it from msn videos.

Why TOOL is COOL

Week 8: #19 Web-based Apps: They're not just for desktops - POST

The ZOHO web based program will be really useful. It is good to have all the applications all on one web based program. It even has chat on there so you can instant message a friend if you get writer's block. I like that it saves your documents on there and don't have to worry about remembering your usb drive.

Week 8: #18 Social Networking: Making friends in the comfort of your own home - POST

The world of social networking is really cool. I looked at the different networking sites and they were really interesting. My sister and cousins use the myspace site for staying in contact with each other. The yahoo 360 looks real easy to use since i have a yahoo account already. The threadless site was cool, so many interesting shirts. I have a friend who's into nascar and will recommend the infieldparking to him.
