#9 Finding Feeds

I had good fun exploring the many search tools to find various feeds. I tried to use "Feedster", but it is "changing & will be back up soon". I found Google Blog Search quite simple and easy to use. I found some sites for several of my favourite TV shows.

#8 RSS ...

Well at last ive finally completed what is said to be the most difficult topic in the course!! I had never heard of RSS, but I think its a great timesaving tool. For someone who uses the internet alot, whether for work or home use, they can keep abreast of the latest really easily. I found the subscribing to feeds quite easy and enjoyed this task. However im stuck in the "share" part.

#7 Technology

My chosen form of new technology is something that I cant possible live without - my home computer. Well i guess its been around a while, not really new. Anyhow I certainly do rely on my computer for everyday activies from ordering a library book to paying bills or keeping up with friends. Everyday things about computers are changing so I am continually learning and trying my hardest to have some idea about whats going on.

#6 More Flicka Fun

I looked at the site for the Mash Up Awards. I found one titled "Foamee" a free service for keeping track of beer I.O.U's, using twitter messaging. A worthy service I think!!

#5 Flickr

Well after much hairpulling and frustration I have finally managed to upload a picture from the web using flickr! I found a picture of one of my favorite holiday destinations.
I think flickr is a fantastic tool for sharing photos with family and friends ... and keeping them organised - the photos, I mean! I also thought that using organizr to place photos on to a map was a great idea for remembering where photos were taken.
