Week 23

Hi,

At last! I have finished . I found it very challenging and learnt lots of new things with Web 2.0. Now I can relax and enjoy Cappucinno.

Project Gutenberg

Project Gutenber is a free ebook site. The link to the site is here
eBooks have many features that traditional paper books may be missing:

• You can search through the text for a specific word or phrase
• You can carry eBooks with you on your PDA or smartphone device
• You can shrink or enlarge the text size
• You can add digital bookmarks
• You get instantaneous delivery
• You help the environment by not using paper or requiring packaging
  

What's amazing about Project Gutenber it was set up by volunteers.

Podcast

The word “podcasting” is combining the words “broadcasting” and “iPod.” The most popular format of a podcast is MP3. When I first heard of podcasting I didn’t understand what made it different from simply searching and then downloading a music file and listening. One of the most common podcast subscribing tools is iTunes.

YouTube

I liked the concept of YouTube where you can upload your movies, pictures or any crazy thing. The downside is that life is no longer private. Ofcourse, Gen Y love it. Their popularity is judged by how many hits to their posting. YouTube is very helpful for product guides you could say it is a virtual product launch

This my favourite YouTube posting.

Web 2.0 Awards

These sites employ search capabilities, allow to share data with other users, and most importantly, help me stay organized and informed.

Hi there

I seem to be learning daily. Don't know where this is leading. It is like walking in the dark. Oh nice to discover something new.

I hope what I'm doing makes sense.

Cool.

Hennepin County Library

I have visited Hennepin County Library facebook. It is a good site that allows people to chat with librarian, search catalog, register as a fan, and also post something on "wall".
I am conservative in having such networking.
