Thing 11: Online Creations

Done it. This is old new. Of course, to others is new. Web designer I don't need them I can just code them. Before I already know how to create a slide show. From Flickr, slide, photobucket, and Slideshare.

What uses do these tools have for professional or personal use?

As I mention before slide of works that I have done or image of my daily life. Such as my family, birthday party, etc. . .

Was the tool you used easy to navigate and understand?

Of course it was easy to navigate and understand. With a click I can view the image of edit it online or offline.

Would you recommend it to others?

Yes, because those that do not know how to do photoshop or edit to video. They can learn from those sites.

Do you use other sharing tools for photos, documents, or other creations that you would recommend?

Photobucket.

Thing 10: More Flickring Around

Like I saw in my previous "Things" blog. I love it. It so easy to use. Upload, change it, and share it. Most of the thing Ai mention on their "16 things" I already knew and use it.

Consider how you can use these tools in your assignments, professionally or for self-promotion.

Alot, you can share project and homework I have done during college and share it online. Everyone can see even the professionally might cross them and might hire me work for them.

What do you think of sharing photos online? Consider copyright and licensing issues.

Good and bad. Anyone can upload and share. As well, lie or claim it their. Honestly, I don't post my work online. Because I tend to throw them away or lost files.

Thing 9: Photosharing with Flickr

I love Flickr. I have tons of my photo there already. From high school year and now. All my friend and others can access to view them.

How might you use Flickr for schoolwork, in your personal life or professional setting?

Alot things. Such as experiment in school, artworks, project, homeworks, etc. . . People across the word and professional level can view them.

Do you use Flickr or another photo hosting service? Which one? How does it compare to Flickr?

I do use Flickr and other photo host. I use photobucket.com. There not much difference between them too. One of them I used for personal. In other words is in private. Only people that I allow to view it.

How do you feel about having your photos public (note that you can mark your Flickr photos private, too)--any concerns?

Good and bad. Good, allow other people see my works I done. Bad, image that i want to share with my friends and family. They have to create account to allow to view them.

Thing 8: Wikis

That cool how the Wikis work. Is almost like chatting online but on the website. I still think calling each other such as 3 or 4 way call. Or set a meeting. Is just to much. Meeting up or making a phone call is a lot easy and faster. I don't have time to do all these thing on the net.

Blog Prompts:

What did you find interesting about the wiki concept?

I like the idea everyone can edit and save. Allowing everyone view the page, as well.

What types of applications within schools and professional organizations might work well with a wiki?

Website. Such as myself. As a website design it make it alot easy for myself and others to edit and save time.

Many teachers/faculty "ban" Wikipedia as a source for student research. What do you think of the practice of limiting information by format?

Because anyone can access and make change to it.

Which wiki did you edit?

None.

Thing 7: Online Collaboration Tools

Sound almost like Del.icio.us. Where I can be anywhere and get the site without being on my computer and view the history. It almost sound like Wikipedia. anyone can add and change. at the same time the main one (people that work for Wikipedia) can see the change and who make the change by their IP address. I really like Google doc. that awesome. It like working in group of people on the net. Each one can get access and change into it. What a great idea.

Blog Prompts:

Which of these tools is easier for you to use?

I think all them are easy to use. I like Google Doc and Dropbox. I like Dropbox the most. I like the idea just click and drop without search on the computer and upload.

How do the features of each compare?

Honestly, just going to the Zoho website. I already don't want to join. I not sure. How exactly how it work. Google Doc have less step. It get to the point and is clean (not messing). Send it through e-mail. Anyone can get access. You get to see the edit is done if the other user made any change. Dropbox, click and drag.

Does one have features that would make you choose it over the other?

Yes, Dropbox. I don't have to search on my computer for the file and upload it. Click and drop is fast and easy to share.

What would the Founding Fathers think of these tools?

I don't know. Maybe amaze and how fast and easy. That how I felt.

Thing 6: Digg & Reddit...[et al].

This one has to be one of my favorite "Things." I already have Del.ic.ious account and StumbleUpon. One of my favorite place to keep update is slashdot.org

Blog Prompts:

1. How can you use Digg to collect research for your next report or design project?

Help gather information and gather information about specif project or paper. It also help you find interesting and unique facts that you won't find anything else. Such as article, video, and images. And it easy to use.

2. How can you use Digg to establish your reputation and credibility?

It save time and approve my report or design project. As well my opinion and input about it. The same goes to other people comment and thoughts.


3. How can you connect your other social media circles to Digg and increase your popularity?

I can post my own stories. Other people can view and comment on it.

4. Reddit is using Twitter. Discuss what combining the experience means to you in terms of saving your oh so "precious time"?

I don't have "Twitter" account. I do know it would save my time search on the net for information to do my report or design projects.

5. How can you ensure that information on an open source website like Reddit is credible?

.....

Thing 5: Beyond MyFaceSpaceBooking

I don't understand why do we have to join in different community and social network. I understand social network help stay connect when you can talk on the phone or see them face to face. I admit I like the idea of Twitter and Plurk. Is just too much to keep update. I don't want to glude myself to my comptuer 24/7. As I mention I people person. I don't have time. When I do, I prefer to just check my e-mail and do other important things or go outside. Enjoy the fresh air outside.

Blog Prompts:

1. Which social journal did you choose? Why?

Nither. I already join one call www.livejournal.com is the only place I keep update and post image. Only those close to me are allow to view them.

2. What is unique about the online journaling experience?

For livejournal I like the idea share and chatting people I love update about myself and themselves.

3. Can you see this having some application to school work or professional development?

I still have trouble how these application is professional development. Maybe school work. You can share you art of work online to people.

4. What are some ways that these tools could be used for evil, instead of good?

Posting something bad. Such as a bad day at work or school. Or posting house party, club, etc. . . Pretty much almost everything you do that can effect your chance of getting hire or get a job.
