Week 8 #19 '43 things'

I chose '43 things' to browse, I logged in and added to the question 'What would you like to do?' It was interesting to see how many other visitors has the same answer. I was then able to read their post and leave a comment if I wished, I could also access any other posts they had created.

I was curious, I wanted to know if I could actually search a person not just a phrase, I typed a user name and low and behold up came the person I was looking for. I could access their posts and leave a comment, I did. Now I have to wait and see if they respond. As it was one of my L2.0 buddies, they may not re-visit.

43 things was fun and relatively straight forward to navigate and use. Whether library users would use it I'm not sure, however younger patrons would probably find more use for the site.

One more thing I didn't find the site visually appealing, it seemed to be missing something, that's just my opinion!

Week 8 #18 Zoho - This is fun! It really Is.

I had a lot of fun with Zoho Writer, there was sooooo much you could do. I can see how functions like word processing, spreadsheeting and online conferencing could takeover from existing applications.

With multi choice templates, resumes' for differing careers and speech writing.

I did try and blog through Zoho and had difficulty in connecting to my blog. I got assistance from another who also was unable to connect. We gave up, however, I understand how it's done.
