Quest 6 Delicious


At first I didn't understand anything because the link to the video didn't work. I tried doing the discovery exercises and pulled them up, but was clueless to what I was supposed to do. I even created an account but didn't know where to go from there. Most of the tools assumed you understood what bookmarking is. I didn't and had to go back and experiment with that. Then someone added a link that did work. It all became clear. I clicked on the account created for the exercise and this time understood. I clicked a tag that 51 people had saved. It listed CCPL as using Pluggo for IM. I saved this to my account to see if the number would change. IT DID!! Now I will experiment with moving my Yahoo bookmarks to Delicious.

ImageChef

ImageChef.com - Custom comment codes for MySpace, Hi5, Friendster and more


The image finally showed up. I had to save it to My pictures first. I am sure that is not always necessary because the instructions did not say that. Anyway, it worked!

Quest 5

Although we didn't have to comment on this quest, I wanted to say that I enjoyed exploring these sites. I had not heard of most of them. Some were informative and some just plain fun! I was happy to find out about Pandora.com. Palmetto Biz Buzz was somewhat of a disappointment. I thought I could find information about a particular restuarant I was thinking about visiting. However, if the business owner doesn't write a review, you get the same info that you can find in the phone book. I am trying to add a picture from ImageChef,but I keeping getting an error message. I will work on this.

RSS 2

While waiting for the next quest, I have enjoyed using my feeds on bloglines. It is great to have sites you regularly use all in one place. I experimented with Goggle Reader and have some feeds there as well. I really like this!!
