exercise #16 - Zoho writer

I always knew these existed but for some reason I thought they weren't very good quality so I never tried to use online word processors. It's actually really useful and all my misconceptions have been cleared up. This really makes emailing yourself documents so unnecessary.

The only problem I had was doing the embedding thing. I don't know how to publish my documents in my blog. I tried copying and pasting the coding it told me to but ended up with an error which I tried to fix but my HTML kinda sucks. <--! Help me pls <--/>

I love Zoho writer! I also love the feature where you can take your documents offline so you don't loose any work if you're knocked off the internet (grr slingshot >_<)

exercise #15

This tool looks like it would be useful if I had a group of websites that I was looking for or as is suggested in the exercises blog, a set of similar online resources that I frequently use to answer homework or reference questions. Generally however I find it easier to just use google.

I created my own search for My Chemical Romance information and images, however it sort of didn't work out because I added their wikipedia page and of course that searches all of wikipedia everytime which is annoying and couldn't work out how to fix it up :( so I joined up and made an account and made a new one. A better one :). I am now on a hunt to find more relevant websites to go in, if i can work how to edit once they are created. Anyone know? ^^

exercise #14 - that library thing...

LibraryThing is a very interesting site. I love looking at my books online and reading and writing reviews about books I have found to be interesting. I love it how the site recommends more books you might like. It is similar to LastFm which shows your music library through "scrobbling" the music that you listen to.
I also think it is great how it tells you libraries that are similar to yours. It's fun :)

I think that this sort of technology is great and would be very useful to libraries as it is very interactive and fun. I can't wait to get more time to get my whole library up

I love image generators! I used one to create a motivational poster using an image i had on my desk top. I always wondered how people always got them so uniform. You know when you are looking at like say motifakes or un-motivational posters? So that is what inspired me. fun fun.

exercise #12 - playing in the sandbox

This website is very user friendly. I love it how the site allows you to write a comment and then log in with out deleting all the stuff you wrote. I contributed to the favourite books. I find it is a fun and interesting way to discuss things.
