Finally....Collaboration Software

I added my blog info on the Google Docs spreadsheet. I thought it was going to be very hard, but it was really easy.


What can I say about Zoho is that it is amazing if you don't have Microsoft. The way that is setup is also very clear. I will recommend this to all of my co-workers and friends.

Search Vs Navigation


Is a search engine based in Sydney, Australia. It looked like other search engines. NO IMAGE RESULTS!!!



  • Organized in columns

  • Has credible sites for Health and Environment

  • Has highlighted keywords

  • No number count of results

  • Hakia's search experience is focused on quality, not popularity

  • When you click on the images tab, then click on an image, there is no split screen like you see in Google. You just get the picture. From the image results you can see the url of the image





Has a side panel (on the left side of the window)which will display your search history. Once you click on the images tab the side panel changes to image options.



  • Has a side panel called web search

  • There are random words on there such as travel, education, health, etc.;You may click on these words and get results. You can use the left or right arrow and your words will change on the side panel.

  • IT IS SSSSLLLLLOOOOWWW!!!

Mobile Web 2.0

I used the emulator and it was small. So I am thinking I just rather get a large screen phone. Some websites on the emulator do not look the same as using a computer. I don't like how the mobile websites look, they look plain. Mobile websites would be useful sometimes while running errands. As a matter of fact I needed this just yesterday. The down side of mobile internet is that you have to pay for it, bummer.

Social Networking 2.5

So I have a facebook account already and not interested in Twitter. Gosh if you have so much time to login to your twitter account and type 140 characters of whatever, then I am guessing you don't have friends, a job, or are addicted to being online. I must confess that my facebook account is simple, I don't use it too much but to keep in touch with peers.

Lesson #10: The Dark Side of the Web -Internet Malware

This lesson was very educational
How to catch a Phish:

  1. Use your common sense when dealing with email-remember-there are no free lunches!

  2. Look for text, grammar, and links that seem odd or out of place


    • Words will be mispelled

    • The email will say "Dear Valued Customer" because phishing cons do not know your name



  3. Roll your mouse over all links to make sure the addresses are legitimate.

    • The URL will not match the supposed company that sent it do you

Lesson #9: Life Long Learning 2.0

Business Balls
I did the multiple intelligences test and the results were: 31 on Logical-Mathematical and 32 in Musical and Bodily-Kinesthetic.


Nikon
On this website I explored Look Good in Pictures. This link has videos that give you tips on picture taking. These videos are NOT only geared towards Nikon cameras, they are for all cameras. Some tips that I got from one of the videos I watched was that


  1. Use "Party Mode" with ambient light

  2. Flash mode only works up to 10ft, turn if off for distant shots

  3. For close-up shots that flatter, step back and use the zoom



Cnet Digial Home DIY
Neat website to digitilize your home. The only thing I found worth while was that they have a video that shows you how to secure your wireless network. Everyone that owns a wireless router at home should secure it. I know that you should be nice to your neighbors, but they don't help you pay for the internet. The video seemed to guide you step by step.

Instructables
With this website I learned how to create a bookshelf out of encyclopedias!! Yay!! Now we have use for those out of date encyclopedias.


A bookshelf made of encyclopedias! YAY! - More DIY How To Projects


eHow
Sleek website that shows you how to do things. I read some articles and I was impressed. I liked the wedding, parties and entertaining sections. This website also has videos listed on the website under each category. They have some interesting subcategories.

Expert Village
This website is similar to youtube.com. They have videos on how to dance Merenge to how to apply makeup. You may leave comments on the videos just like in youtube.com. (Yes you must be a member to do this.) OMG, they even had a section for WEDDINGS!!!

How Stuff Works
I don't think I may get bored exploring this website. There are so many interesting facts. So much to Learn so little time. I learned that the people that clean-up accidents or crime scenes start at $35,000 a year and this job does not require a college degree. The article I read also stated that in a large city being a clean-up worker you could reach up to a six figure salary. WOW!

5 Min Lifeopedia
Fascinating website I must say. Under the fitness section they have mini dance videos for kids. While watching these videos, some of my co-workers started to do them. They thought that these moves were clever.
