#14 Technorati

I Played around with Technorati, like some of my other colleagues I like to bookmark blogs I like for easier viewing rather than going through all the blogs. But I think it is a great way to find blogs of similar interests and bookmark them to my favourites, which I have done by added them to Del.icio.us and added them to bloglines for easier tracking for updates.

#13 Del.icio.us (Tagging)

Never knew that there was anything like Del.icio.us, I always thought that bookmarking a site could 0nly be done on the computer you have bookmarked it to. In the past I have emailed myself the web address to access it from other computers. But how easy it is to do it through Del.icio.us.
And what about tagging? It is great to be able to put as many tags on it that you want, to make it easier to find and for others to share. I noticed too, that when I have added an item to Del.icio.us and somebody else has added it, it shows how many other people have bookmarked this site, and I have been able to go through their bookmarks to see common interests and check out those sites.

Having Fun Playing Around

I was looking at one of my sites I regularly visit and saw a Slide presentation, so I followed the link which led me to www.slide.com (click on the word slide to take you to the site).

There I signed up and created my own slide show, it also allows you to add music but I didn't like the selection they had.
So go check it out and create your own slide show.

#12 Rollyo

I love my movies, so I created a Rollyo with different movie databases. So search up your favourite movies and see what results you get.

Have Fun.

#11 Library Thing

What a great place to look up books. I registered with Library Thing and had a play around. There I decided to create a library of my own books I own to do with scrapbooking, some of the books I own didn't come up in the Add books, so I did a Suggestions search which found them, then I returned to Add books and added them to my library. Those books I owned that didn't have pictures attached to them, I added. I also added tags of scrapbooking to them and some I added paper piecing.

When I added all my books, I created a widget displaying the books.

#10 Image Generators

Where to start, there are so many image generators to chose from.
First I played around with Blythe Doll Makeup Generator, but when I was done I couldn't find a way of saving my creation.

Then I found this site which is a My Little Pony generator, one part was to create your own pony, selecting pony colour, hair & eye colour, type of pony, female or male and adult or child, this is what I created.













Another part of this program was to create a father pony and a mother pony, then when you press create it generates a child. This was the result.


And then I stumbled across this image generator, I think that everyone who had a go at completing the Public Libraries-Learning 2.0 should get one.

#9 New Feeds

Never noticed them before...
But a lot of places I visit, surfing the net, have RSS feeds. Never new what they were before, but I am understanding them a little more now. And when I find a site I like I check for feeds and add it to my Bloglines.

Through Bloglines I have included a Sub with Bloglines shortcut on my toolbar (I use Mozilla Firefox), What this does is, if I am in a site I like I just click on the Sub with Bloglines button and it checks for feeds for easy & quick addition to my feed list.

The link can be downloaded by going to your Bloglines account, opening the playlists tab, scroll down to subscribe to it an click on Browser toolbars, Then select Sub with Bloglines that suit your internet browser.
