Week 5 Thing 11

BookThing was very easy to use and might be helpful for Library customers who cannot remember whether they have already a book or not. Most of our avid readers would need lifetime memberships as they would have hundreds of books in their libraries. Novelist allows customers to make lists of books after creating an personal account, but I think you are limited to titles found on their site.

Week 5 Thing 12

Using Rollyo I created a search tool for health and medical questions. My search for information on a brand name drug resulted in 62 hits, but approximately 30 percent of these hits were from commercial sites not included in my preselected sources.

On the positive side, this seems like federated searching for free websites. It was great entering the search term once and receiving results from multiple websites. The search was fast too.

Week 3 Things 6 and 7

The ID CARD at the bottom of my blog is an example of my flickr fun. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then my blog entry must be complete. Just Kidding!

Did you see there is Flickr Soduku? Try it at http://www.beckysweb.co.uk/sudoku/flickrsudoku.asp

I thought Flickr Color Pickr was impressive. I need a tool like that for home decorating and my quilting projects.

I want to try Mosaic Maker soon.

Week 5 Thing 10

Yahoo! Avatars U.K. & Ireland

My Avatar is meant to keep you guessing as it does not look anything like me. I did, however, live near the "City of Brotherly Love" before moving to Southern Maryland.
