#12 Roll your Own Search Engine With Rollyo

I created my own Rollyo account and made a search roll on the subject of holidays. I have added my favourite website under this topic area. Couldn't get excited about this site and question its value as a tool for me.

#11 All About Library Thing

I liked this site. Just loading some of my books brought back childhood, work and leisure time memories. It also created conversations with colleagues about favourite books. It's a useful tool that I have registered with and will explore some more.

Exercise #10 Image Generators

I found this execise time consuming and something I don't enjoy. Obviously some people have a lot of time on their hands creating the text and image generators. The process of sifting through the 'silliness' wasn't my idea of fun. Anyway I hope to find something soon that appeals to me. So far Bob Dylan, celebrities and characters that feed themselves hamburgers waste my time. This will do as I'm over this part of the course.

Exercise #9. Finding Feeds

I explored the search tools and liked Feedster the best. It is simple to use and there is no overload of information on the homepage. It also allows for different categories in the search process and provides a more specific capability than google blog search.

Excercise# 6 More Flickr Fun

Exploring Flickr Color Pickr reveals some amazing visual effects and beautiful colour tonings. Managed to drift into a link on home renovating from here known as www.myhome.com.au
Could have played for quite a while as I'm an addicted home renovator. Maybe when I have more time I will explore some more.

Discovery Exercise# 8: Make Life Really Simple With RSS

I like this feature because it allows me to receive news that I'm interested in without the need to delete and report spam.For someone working in the capacity of a research assistant it would provide a valuable resource. Any relevant information would be forwarded and therefore save some time in the search process. Libraries can take advantage of this by receiving regular and up to date news on subject areas that are relevant to the library service.

Discover Flickr #5
This photo from the Gippsland lakes area brings back fond memories. I love the area and plan to move there sometime in the future.(asap) The white sand, blue water and temperate climate are calling me. The exercise has introduced me to an enormous range of applications that I can use on my next holiday.The possibilities are endless!
