Week 8, #19 About Zoho

I used Zoho to post the Grand Teton National Park, because our family is going to visit this national park next summer.
I created an account on Zoho. First, I used google to search some Grand Teton's pictures and saved as a file on "my document". Then, I used "Zoho Writer" to type some informations and tried some functions. I used "background color" function to choose the background's color. "Formating function" to choose bold,color,and bulleted. "Insert images" function to download the Grand Teton's picture from my document. At last, I used the "publish" function to post the whole document on my blog. I hope you will like it.

week 8, #18 Social Networking

I went on 3 different social networking sites. The first one is "My Space". I think this site is good for the people who like to chat. Once you create an account then you can invite your friend to join your personal Network. And your friend's friend will automatically on your network, same as your friend's friend's friend will on you network and so on. You will build a huge your own network,then you can say that is your personal community. I don't like chatting on line. This is not my place.
The second one is Yahoo!360. I use Yahoo! everyday. On this network, you are not only create a linked network of friends, but also can communicate a lots of Yahoo!'s service such as Yahoo! Messenger, Yahoo! Photo, Yahoo! Travel and Yahoo! shopping. It also provides web blogs, you can have your personal blog and share everything with people. I don't need that many services, so I will not take this web.
"My Opera" I will recommend this for the people who don't care much about service but still like to have their own blog. This is a vibrant place to create your own blog. You can share your feeling, experiences, and show your favorite pictures here. I read many people's blogs and saw many very interesting pictures. This is my favorite social networking site.

week 7, # 17 New Technology

Mp3 players are a big thing for me. MP3s can be used to store music and videos that I can listen and view later. MP3s are a big part of my life. With my MP3 Player I have stored thousands of songs, even some in different languages. I also store some funny videos that I can watch when I am bored. For me the MP3 is a great way to pass time.
I left a comment on Fgango's blog. I love her Meez's image. It's cute and funny. I went to that website, and have a lots of fun playing there.

Week 7, #16 About Wiki

I created an account on iHCPL Wiki, and added my blog to the favorite blogs. My son is crazy about the Naruto, so I also added the Naruto to the favorite websites. You can watch the newest Naruto movie on that website (Japanese version with English Subtitle).

week 6 #15 Library 2.0

Library 2.0 is an extended service to the customers. They don't need to go to the library to use the service. This includes online service such as use HCPL system to check all information and do the online application. According to the articles I read with Library 2.0, library services are frequently evaluated and updated to meet the changing needs of library user. Library also encourage user participation and feedback in the development and maintaining of library service. Library 2.0 are not just about access to books and information. It is about innovation, about people, and about community.
With the Library 2.0, I think our library's computer lab can offer online classes to the public in the near future. Then the customer all around the country can use computer to register and have the class at home.

week 6, #14 Technorati

I looked at technorati and did the advanced search "learning2.0", and found the results are different. Under keyword search the results are 143, under tags the results are 120, and under blog directory the results are 116. I was just wondering why the blog's result is less than tags? I also viewed the "popular" , the Top favorite blog #1 is Boing Boing (2887 member have made this a favorite). The top blogs #1 is Engadget, on this blog I found some Chinese reactions. It is very interesting.

week 6, #13 del.icio.us

I created an account on del.icio.us. My computer uses firefox, so I installed two new bottom ("post to del.icio.us" & "my del.icio.us") on my computer. Then I save a new web "Chinatimes" to my account with a tag "newspaper". When I looked up my account I can easy link to this web and also find there are 140 people also saved this web with different tag. I did the same thing to save some other interesting webs. This is a easy way to bookmark your interesting web and easy to do research. You just type the tag, like "newspaper" then it will show all the possible web that related with the tag "newspaper".
