#17 & #18 Web 2.0 Conclusion

Interesting to learn about various sites for blogging, searching blogs, photo and video sharing.
However there was really not the time in a working day to spend on the amount of content provided in this course.
Perhaps it would be better to present this as a weekly series of seminars over a certain period that people can attend voluntarily or in the 9-10am time slot. Then people can go away and work on further exercises when time permits or that are of interest. That would be a far more realistic goal, providing a much more useful outcome.

#15 & #16 YouTube etc

Had a look at YouTube. A good video sharing site. Successfully loaded a video into my blog! Yippee!
Familiar with ITunes.

#12, #13 & #14 Tools & Technology.

Looked at the page on Zoho Writer.
Use technology everyday and agree there is too much emphasis on technology at present, but it will swing back or balance out eventually.
Enjoyed exploring the 'Yelp' site as a way of discovering more about a city or possible travel destination.

#10 & #11 Flickr


Very good image sharing site. Some really beaut pics.

This is a favourite image - a great shot of early morning mist through the trees.


Good to see the other uses of Flickr images on third party Flickr applications.
