I thought the Flickr geotagging was kinda cool but I don't think I'll ever really use it. I like taking pictures but I don't usually go and post them everywhere. 

BlockRocker was kinda cool too but I think Flickr is better and more people use it. 

If I ever went on vacation or wanted to show people I knew that lived far away photos this is one creative way to do so. 

Geocaching is for people who have nothing better to do. Taking a lame game to the extreme, but hey, if people like it... oh well.

For this thing I chose to go to Minnesota Public Radio's podcast. There's so much stuff to listen to and it can be fun. I listened to the song of the day and if you want to listen to it too here the link:

http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/podcasts/song_of_the_day/

It was simple and organized very nicely making it easy to navigate through the website.

I don't think I would do a podcast on my own personally because I don't think I have a very good radio voice and I prefer having people read my work instead of listening to it.

If Walt Whitman was alive today I think he totally would have a podcast. It would be all sophisticated and called "The Works of Walt Whitman" Not too clever but it gets the job done.

Im not sure if his parents would listen to it but they better just to be supportive!

RPC and the Assignment Calculator is awesome for college kids. We have so much homework and stuff going on all the time so this is a great time management tool. It's very helpful and I think teachers and students should all know about it and check it out. The Assignment calculator is better suited for me and possibly other students at Ai because it seems a little easier and directed more towards students instead of teachers. Both are great for research projects because they give you helpful hints and try to lead you in the right direction.

I think if you have a hard time managing your time and doing things last minute these applications would work well for you outside of school as well.

For this thing I chose iGoogle. It was easy to set up and nice because it has all the important information i want to know right on it, such as the weather. I don't know if I'll make it my permanent page but it still seems like a really good idea and I recommend it.

I would also recommend Ta Da Lists for students and people just in general. Instead of having papers with a bunch of crap written all over them, always getting lost, online lists are convenient and neat. The online calendars are great too because we're always forgetting things and missing important dates, but this way when we go online to check or Facebook or Twitter, we can check our calendar too!

Backpack was okay but i like all the other applications provided. :]

At first I didn't think I would like the Delicious bookmarking page but after giving it a try i like it a lot. I can go to it and easily access my favorite websites with one click. It's fast and I can get everything done in less time. It's great for those times when you can't remember a site, but it's also good for when your researching because you can bookmark all the sites you got information from in case you may need to go back to them.

I think I'll keep my Delicious page around and use it a lot. It's much more convenient then forget a site and trying to search for it again on Google.

This tools are great for everyone and you can do a lot with them. I used the Picture Trail and it was really easy. They give you many options and you can change settings and effects with just a click.

I've noticed a lot of people using Picnik to make photo collages so that might be something to check out.

Thing #10

I created this by using Flickr Spell.

You can use a lot of these tool for many thing such as assignments and self promotion because it is creative and fun. It's unique and easy to do and can set you apart from others.

Sharing photos online great and can be helpful in many many ways but it's always important to make sure you are allowed to use them first. Don't be greedy.
