Tangler

I found that in Tangler one can form a forum on any topic & share and exchange ideas and thoughts. This is very useful when working on projects.

eBookee

Ebookee is a facinating site dealing mainly with tech stuffs. It is useful to check when one needs an idea about an item review or dispalyed.

Various categories - magazines of various fields (pop & academic), report news, newspapers (mainly USA & English speaking orient) - are interesting too.

Amazon kindle is an amazing and costly device.

Beyond #46 - My Web 2.0

I tried a rare books site www.biblio.com which is USA based. On the day, there were 50 million used & rare books in the database. Out of curiosity I tried, Salman Rushdi as the author and retrieved almost all of his works.

Can you try:

1. www.biblio.com
2. Click Book Sellers (on top with othter buttons)
3. Find bookstores by country Australia

Have you fond book sellers from arouns Australia

#46: Updates

I checked up del.icio.us & Zoho Writer as two previously used favourites after sometime.

In Delicious I found that some of the sites/links that I have 'book marked' still working whereas some links did not work. I have also note that the links retrieve quickly. This might be due to the recent update of the dilicious site.

My the other favourite was open source site Zoho. When I used Zoho writer this time I have noticed that it imports existing documents without having to wait longer; eg. my import of a jpg file. I have also tried Zoho wiki,for the first time, and it so user friendly to use.

Thing#45 Flowcharts & mindmaps

I used Bubbl.us for mind map; was able to create related concepts/items with a single click on Bubbl & cofigurate colour, connect one bubble with another and drag them to stand out. It is a handy tool to use in brainstorming in skilling sessions.

For Flowcharting, I used Flowchart.com. Loading the data from the server is frustrating because it took long time even when a standalone computer used. Sometimes one feels whether the Flowchart does freeze the screen becuase it does not even to minimise or to shut the programme. Having said this, with enormous patience, I could create an organisational chart and figure it out using objects such as orthogonal arrows, rounded and rectangle objects and editing such as moving level etc.

Thing#44: Nag yourself

For busy people Jott.com does wonders through Messaging on the go, Reminders at work, List at home and Web services at play.

"More ways to use ..." tips also handy to remember.

Thing 42: Google Groups/Usenet

Compared with Usenet (www), Google Groups provided vast amount of postings. My search on "consequential ethics" with " ..." had 11 posts whereas without "..." had 1,470 posts on Jun 22nd.

Usenet altogether had 13 posts in June, & 22 post in May.

Thing#39 Animoto

Was able to creat an account quickly. Easy to choose videos and music. Long wait to retrieve music from Animoto site. Also like the possibilty have info, play funtions before selecting a vedeo or music. Like the option available to download music & videos from one's own computer drive.

Thing 30: UR library

Isn't it nice to have video image link like the one below:

http://www.lolcats.com/video/17/

http://kscakes.com/LolCats/Detail.aspx/tripleyawnings-a-rare-birds/

Thing 28: Magazie cover

Wired Magazine cover is easy to use and user friendly. I think it can be used for in-house news letters.

Also tried Fun on IT - be careful about this cover generator; all nude stuff; cannot recommend if you have kids.

Thing#35 Twitter

Useful tool to send messages or images to mobile(s) /email(s), specilly, if one/team works on a project.

Optons to have contacts retreived from one's mailing/ email list, On & Off messages when one needs it and "Some Fun stuff:" seem handy to use.

Thing 32 Online filestorage

Loading document(s) to Zoho took time. May be the lenght of the document would have caused the delay. Also uploading images took time.

It is interesting to note the number of services available to use in Box.net.

I did a open free account a week before and the following week I could not access the account and repeatedly said:" invalid login:" I couldn't believe it and consequently could not post a file to the blog.

Thing 25: Newsletter

I used a template, typed up few lines; dragged a picture from Flickr & mock news letter looked nice with the pretty layout. My attempt to upload a picture from 'My pictures' did not work although it said 'You've uploaded 2 images'.

Thing 24 : File conversion-Zamzar

No need to worry whether I can find same programme of my document when I go to the office or elsewhere tomorrow. Zamzar makes the life by converting files that need to work on.

Thing 31 Plaxo

It is easy to add events under different categories and view/follow them at scheduled time(s) in Plaxo.

Thing 29 Scrapblog

http://www.scrapblog.com/3dfd9eb7b9/35C23295-EC31

When reviewing items, use of photos & book covers would be useful

Thing 27 photoshare 2

Thing 27 photoshare 1

Thing 26 YourMinis

It is interesting: some Widgets got added to the tab & some did not; search did a google search; i tip of the day weather channel found information required when the place of the name keyed in and saved; Browser let to access site when urls used; text editor let to link documents to url(s).

Thing#27 Photobucket

I did not upload my own images becuase I am not a digital photo fan. The two book titles that I have chosen to save done the saving task automatically and this was interesting.
