Week 4

http://www.google.com/reader/view/#overview-page

This is a link to my Google reader account, I was unsure of how to add it into my blog so I just copied and pasted it here.

I found the RSS very confusing and frustrating, and I'm sure that through time it would be easier to use if you had patience or were a computer wizz. In my own personal life, I could use this to keep myself updated quickly especially when I don't have much time. I think it is a useful site despite it being confusing. People who do use this site could be informed and reminded about events and activites held at the library, giving us more patrons. Overall I find this site the hardest to use compared with the previous sites on the other tasks.

Week 3

I looked around Flickr and it seems like a very good site for people with creative minds who want to share their work, as well as people showing their friends their latest photos. I searched "japanese teapots" and found a variety of photos, this one in particular caught my attention. I clicked on it so I could see the image bigger, it wasn't quite what I had in mind but it reminded me of home. It is a very traditional picture and reminds me of my parents home.

I think that Flickr is a very useful site, especially when you're looking to find photos to use on a poster or just for browsing. I found it rather easy to use compared to FaceBook and the other sites from week 2. Sometimes, I felt that the words I searched didn't quite meet my requirements of what I had in mind but it was still a fun experience to know that a site like this exists.

Week 2

Out of the 3 pages, I like Facebook the most. I liked it because afew of my friends also have an account with this site whereas my friends don't with Bebo or MySpace. I found Facebook a little confusing to use at first and still do, but I guess thats because of my age! I have no idea how my teenage kids can be online using Facebook for hours! Despite Facebook being confusing, I still found it more straight foward compared to Bebo and MySpace. As alot of teenagers and adults use these sites, I think that we could advertise our events through these sites so everyone gets the message.
