Web 2.0 Experience

I'm giving myself a pat in the back. You should too!

Before this training, I already have a personal blog, http://eya-familylife.blogspot.com/,

I thought I know everything about blogging.

I Am Wrong!

I learned so much from this training. And the convenience of doing it is amazing.

My favorite discovery was FLICKR. I discovered all the services they do. It's awesome.

If there's another discovery program in the future, sign me in.

Thank you for this amazing journey!

Downloadable Media

Downloading Videos:

When JPL first introduced this service, I think my family is the first ones who tried it.

And we love it. It's great! Just download it and viola! You're watching a movie in your computer.

Too bad they discontinued that service.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I think we can only download audio books now.

Podcast

I chose humor as the topic for my podcast and chose: http://shellyspodcast.com/

YouTube

I made this slideshow when the Friends of the Bradham-Brooks library sponsored a Pre-Mother's Day Breakfast in cooperation with Applebee's.

Discovering Web 2.0 tools

Being a picture person, I selected the category: Photos and Digital Images. I found out Flickr is number 1. So I explored http://www.picnik.com/, which is number 2 on the list. PICNIK is described as; an online photo editor with tons of cool features, you can use Picnik to edit and enhance images on your computer.

Picnik is still in Beta. The site smoothly performs many of the tasks that most users want from a photo editor. When you first visit Picnik, you are faced with four large tabs: Your Photos, Edit, Creative Tools, Save & Share.

The first, allows you to add photos from all sorts of places. You can upload images from your computer, take them from flickr, or take them from any other website.

When you have finished playing–oops, editing–you have numerous options. You can save images on your own computer, send them directly to flickr, or to several other websites, including Costco and Wal*Mart. cool, huh?

I found Picnik to be useful, fun, and easy to use. Try it and see for yourself. I think the library can use this tool for working with pictures . We now have the JPL blog and it sure will be a great help to edit pictures before publishing them in the blog.
