Week 3: Feed myinbox - RSS made simple

Most of the websites, particular news related ones, already have the function of sending you updates regularly to your email, so in that respect I don't think it is necessary to go through this particular website to sign up for updates.
I have signed up to the NZ Herald and Yahoo news and I'm getting many updates from the Feed my inbox website. They sort of come in this very dull looking format where all the headings are in bold blue font and the content in normal size 12 font. It doesn't look very attractive.

Write a post about your FeedMyInbox experience and consider: Is it easy to use? Would customers find it simple? Could we use this in the learn.nets and in our workrooms? Do you think that you're likely to use this site again? Would you promote this service to customers? Why/why not?

Week 2: Picapp part two

This picture also comes from my search of Harry Potter, quite nice scenery isn't it? I don't think I would be using this website much at all, I haven't had customer asking how to put pictures onto their blogs in the library so no probably not likely to tell customers about it too.

Why did you choose this particular image? Is this site easy for staff to use? Would customers find it simple? How could Manukau Libraries benefit from a site such as Picapp? Do you think that you're likely to use this site again? Would you promote this site to customers? Why/why not?

Week 2: Picapp

Mmm... I have reservations about this website. I've gone into it several times and each time I typed in a different subject matter to try to get pictures of, but I find a lot of time it comes up with ladies, ladies with long hair, ladies smiling, ladies on the beach or ladies in bikinis. Not all the pictures are relevant to the subject that I am looking for, to be honest some of them are of poor quality. I wonder how these pictures get on the website. I prefer the Google images to Picapp. However this website is good for copying pictures into blogs.
This is a picture of the Gloucester Cathedral featured in Harry Potter movies. (one that does not contain women in the pic)

week 1: Box.net

Wow this is a very, very cool website. I can see myself utilising it whenever I may be using a computer neither at work nor at home. It is definately going to be useful for the computer users in the library as sometimes they don't have the CD or the USB drive to store their documents and things. I like the layout and design of this website, it is clean and easy to navigate.
I mean, it's not bad that you get free 1GB storage, if you wanted more you could upgrade to bigger storage and pay a fee. They already have 25 million users and guess what, if you use up the 1GB space, why not just create another account on Box.net?

We founded Box.net because we believe sharing should be simple and we're committed to providing the easiest tool for sharing, collaborating and managing your content.

Whether it's for personal or business reasons, it has become a lot more simple to store files online (pictures, documents, songs, videos). The beauty of online file sharing is that you can keep it private or you can opt to share your files with friends. Your invited friends can then create and upload new files, edit already existing files or simply leave a comment.

Web 2.0 part 3 (Does it ever end?)

Slow start for this round, determined to finish it on time... Only six modules - I can do it!
