Week 8, Thing 19

Took a look at the site seomoz.org. The award category I chose was "Games". From there I chose "Guess-the-Google". This was actually a fun thing to do. They gave you 20 seconds to guess in a keyword what the common theme was of a group of pictures. You have to think very quickly looking at the group of images. After playing it for a while, you get better at guessing what the keyword should be. When the game is over, they list the scores of the best players.

Week 8, Thing 18

On to the next adventure.....looked at the Zoho Services site. They listed eight Zoho services that can be used to conduct your business online. I won't use this site because I have become comfortably accustomed to using Word processors and this site seems to be a little too complicated for me. I don't use spreadsheets on a regular basis, I never use instant messaging, chats, or web conferencing.

Week 7, Things 16 and 17

This week I experienced the Wiki. In my opinion, the Wiki is not a reliable and trustworthy source of information because anyone can add, edit or delete content of a subject being looked up. If I want true and reliable information, I would go to an encyclopedia website, and so you won't find me using Wikis. I don't trust them.
I looked at the Book Lovers Wiki where you can choose a category of a book and then read reviews from others. And you know what you can do to their reviews? You can add, edit, or delete their review. So why bother with Wikis?
Then I looked at Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki. A great website for Librarians!
A "one-stop shop for Librarians."

I looked at the Maryland Sandbox Wiki and listed categories of various topics and I picked "Favorite Foods". I added an entry to the favorite foods listings. It was interesting reading about others favorite foods, favorite vacation spots, pets, etc.....
