Finished!

Hip hip hooray!
It's been fun doing the blogs and learning about all the amazing things online.

Zoho Writer

Hi,
it's Michelle's outrageously sexy nan pan yo here.

We looked through Zoho writer and found it interesting. We liked the share aspect of the software and thought this would be useful. However you can't share a document with a person who isn't a Zoho member.

Question! Can you share google docs with non-members? If so we think google docs would be better then.

Week 9 Discover YouTube

In this day of techonology, you can just about see everything you want to see or not want to see on the internet - particularly if you use the YouTube website. I have often received links from friends who have sent to me via the Facebook. Sometime even the banks have links to You Tube videos for useful information, such as a recent one I saw was about an interview with a US financial advisor saying most of the people spend too much time on planning their yearly holiday and not enough time invested in learning about finances - I think this is so true in my sense. I've even seen on the Air New Zealand website that they make YouTube video to advertise for positions. I thought that was absolutely great because it saved you time to read through the job description and all you had to do was watch the video of the person talking about what this position entails. Air New Zealand has always kinda been very advanced in technology. Other videos I've seen are more comical ones that were just good for a laugh.My goodness, I clicked into the Web 2.0 directory and guess what I found, 62 different video sites for creating, discovering, searching, sharing, storing etc for videos. This day and age of over flowing of media.

Week 8 Online application

Today I explored the Google docs. It turned out I had used it before for some other thing. The Zoho Writer site didn't load on the LearnNet, it was blocked by WebMarshall so couldn't view it. It's really amazing all the various useful applications that are on the Google website. Just creat one google account and you get access to all these applications. Very cool!

Week 7 Social Networking

In this week's module it introduces different social sites. It was easy with Facebook because I have been using it for a long time now. It's great for posting photos and keeping in touch with friends who don't live in the same city as you. Whenever I log in to my Facebook account I would have new friends invites, I can see new photos they've posted and also send messages to them. In a way it's good to be able to keep in touch with people like that. But emailing works just the same though.

With the MySpace, it works pretty much the same way as the Facebook where people post photos on there as well as write blogs. I have friends who make their web page look absolutely amazing, very personalised. I've often enjoyed reading their blogs when they have updated them, even though I've never posted blogs onto MySpace myself. But I do also have MSN messenger application which I use to communicate instantly with people online. Because I have a webcam so I can even see the other person and all I do is just talk into the microphone and it's just like talking to the other person face to face.
