The Award Winners
Award Winners
I was skepitical about some of these sites. The first one I tried was Faircast, a travel site. I was expecting revews on locations with an occational ad for hotels or airlines. This was a flight price search engine. It took a while to load but the results were werth the wait. They were fairly comprehensive.
I didn't have time to check all of the sites. But the ones I did visit seemed to do what they do very well. I guess you don't last very long in the public domain and win awards if your site is just average.
On Line Applications
On Line Applications
These were very interesting sites to visit. I didn't think that there would be much use for these applications with the proliferation of Windows. However with the examples that were on Google writer. I can see the usefulness of these applications. You can't beat the price. It would be very useful for college students with their limited budgets.
The one drawback I am finding is the need to have a reliable fast connection to the internet. Our dial up at home leaves something to be desired. Watching potters puppet pals on You Tube with dial up takes a long time.
Wake up marbles. I stay awake when you are running the mouse. OK!We'll get the cats back on You Tube. OK ok I'll find that cute calico again. Just let me finish this.
First the boys want faster internet now the cat. Back in my day we used a typewriter for reports and watched movies on TV all 3 channels. Easy with the tail marbs, I'm finishing.

Wiki
I have used wikiapedia for information before. I think it's a good way to get up to date information on any subject.
As to the accuracy of the information. I think that ,with persons watching their particular area of interest on the wiki, inaccurate information can be caught and changed quickly.
With many persons contributing to their particular area of interest the breadth of the information would be much more extensive than a written encyclopedia. The hyperlinks add so much more to the understanding of the information.
Ok Marbs, time for tuna.
Quit chewing on the mouse cord!

Techno Delicious and Web 2
I have looked at all three sites. I've registered with del.icio.us and tagged some web sites.
Technocrati is a loss for me. Before I can read the index more sites come in at the top. The search engine returned things that had only one reference to my query. I searched Astronomy and one of the sites was a blog about a girls trip to Montreal and her first week of college. I didn't see a reference to Astronomy in her blog.
Who has time to blog about this stuff much less search and read the posts?
I do.
Hi Marbles, Where've you been?
I had a nasty tangle to lick out.
I see. Why are their teeth marks on the mouse cord?
It's a mouse isn't it? It's what I do.
Oookayyy. Those are getting expensive ok.
Mmirripp
Web 2.o was interesting. How do you integrate the old, (buildings and mindset), to the new electronic information? How do you pay for all the changes? How do you keep up with the technology that is changing so rapidly? How do you, or how can you, educate people so they can use the new library on their own? It sounds good on paper but the implimentation is a nightmare.
Watch your claws Marbles.
Sorry

Pictures, Books and Searches
I was able to do this one myself. Someone needs his beauty sleep.
The photos were easy with flicker. The library thing couldn't have been easier.
I even managed to list several websites on rollo. However I can seem to add them to the Blog.
That cat's never around when you need him. MARBLES!

RSS feeds
Ok Marbles are you ready to help me with my blog now?
You helped mom all this time.
She gives me tuna fish.
I feed you too!
Sure, cat food, yucck!
Ok, I'll give you some tuna fish.
And ham?
Ok, a little.
Alright I'll help.
Thank you.
I get to work the mouse.
Ok, just don't chew the cord in two like last time.
Once I got the account set up at bloglines getting the feeds were simple.
You just didn't do it right.
The hard part was slecting witch of the feeds to slect from. I just used the search tab at bloglines.
It didn't take me long.
Ya Marbs, I see you found the Cat feed pretty quick.
Thanks, Its' a gift.
Just quit chewing on the cord.
I think I smell tuna.
