Week 7: Wikis

I thinks Wikis are a good concept to share information with groups of people who need to collaborate on a project or have opinions about different things and need to come together as a team or unit. I learned about editing wiki pages and seeing which pages were already edited and when they were edited. Wikis are an excellent way to share knowledge and resources with other people.

Week 6: Tagging, Folksonomies & Technorati

I surfed around Del.icio.us and I really liked this site. I was able to find good articles on the breed of dog I have. I though I would share a picture of what he looks like with who ever views this. Isn't he cute!! He is one of four in our family.

Technorati was a great search engine. I found it very user friendly and easy to manuever through.

Week # 5 Play Week

Creating an avatar was more fun than I was expecting. Choosing my hair style and clothes was very time consuming. I have also set up My LibraryThing site. This task was pretty easy to do. Making a list of books is an easy way to keep track of things you have read and share with your friends

Week # 4 RSS Feeds

I have set up my Blogline account. It was pretty easy. Now I can keep up to date with all my favorite things, as I consider myself a news junkie. I have also explored Merlin. I am familiar with this site because of the computer training I did through Thompson. I subscribed to Merlin to keep myself updated on the latest news and technology.
