RSS and Subscribing (#15 and #16)

Had a lot of fun playing with this function. Found the video simple and informative. I really think i will benefit from using this google reader feature. A great way to keep up with new ideas without having to go searching the different websites that you have already established as trusted sources. Excellent way of keeping updated. Look forward to playing more with this.

My Space and Facebook (#13 and #14)

I thought the Myspace homepage a more appealing one to look at but I found reading about the security options available to Face book users informative. I am amazed that so many people get caught out with sharing comments and photos etc with friends they did not want to share with.It is my understanding that by establishing the "Only Friends" option that that should be prevented!
I found the quote "Feels private but You are Being Public" a good one to remember!
I also liked the advice given by the Grammer school lecturer for students to keep sound and email notification off whilst studying!! I wonder how successful that advice is?

It was interesting reading about the advantages created by Facebook for those students who want to study abroad and how making the connection with others allowed a lot of information and learning to take place before embarking on the unknown!

There are many pros and cons about social networking. I can see by looking at the various sites like Myspace and Facebook that they provide a fabulous opportunity to connect with people with common links. In particular when parties are travelling o'seas and yet staying in touch.As highlighted in one of the articles i read it does concern me that there is an addictive tendancy for people to spend a lot of time with no real goal.

It is great to know that users are encouraged to use technology in such creative ways. We just have to remember it is all about balance!!

Flickr (#12)

Have had some time using the flickr website. I seemed to be signing up to an awful lot of sites!! It is easy to get a little confused with all the URL's and passwords! Great advice at the beginning of course to keep a record of them all!!
I hope I have successfully attached link to this site!

Will then attempt to copy my beautiful picture to my blog site as well!! Fingers crossed!

Library Thing (#11)

After having a small break away from exploring technology, I am back on board! Have spent some time playing around on the Library Thing website and found it interesting.I don't believe I will have a use for this site however and it amazes me that people have time to catalogue and chat etc. I preferred the google books site. Its features are more suited to my needs!

Image testing!!!

  Really loved playing with the "image font" site!! I highly recommend it . I enjoyed listening and watching the tutorials which were simple and easy to learn from.

Image Generators (#10)

I am finding the image generator  sites very interesting but yet a little frustrating!!!  I need to spend a lot more time playing as there are so many things to learn! I hope I manage to attach my image - fingers crossed!!!!!   Yippeee!!! It worked!!
