16 and 17

I really struggled with the wiki and sandbox. I visited the sites, but did not get a real good understanding of how this could best be utilized. I need help on how to put my blogg on the Favorites. Good thing this is discovery and not mastery!

The Machine is Using Us

I enjoyed this video, it gave me a better understanding of webb based applications as well as the implications for us. Webb 2 may/will require re-thinking on alot of issues concerning copywrite, editing, etc. This may be hard for us connected with 20th century backgrounds.

Technorati

Technorati seems more useable to me than the Delicious. I do wish there was a better explanation as to the overall objective or theme to the different blogs. Boing boing was the most popular but didn't seem to have a central theme or it didn't jump out at me anyway. The next one on how to make money from your bloggs did have a theme.

Del.icio.us

I did the Del.icio.us exercise at home with dial up so I did not get the full impact of the tutorial. I learned much of this topic from one of the blogs listed and then went into the account set up for Carolina library. Using the My Space blogs I see how this tagging system may be of some help. Also the fact that I use several computers makes this technique a desirable one for me.

Week 4-Bloglines

Just finished bloglines, I think. I would like to utilize this type of service to search used boat listings, although my friend "flagpond" keeps me up on most of these!

GPS

Without a doubt, my favorite piece of technology is my GPS/Depth Sounder on my boat.

Calendar Maker

I just viewed the calendar maker on Flicker, I think that would be a neat way to personalize a calendar with my own pictures.
