Netvibes (150)

Netvibes (150)
This is my RSS Feed site that I set up on netvibes. I chose this RSS feed website becuase it gives me the opportunity to creatre myown headings for tabs provides, which means I can customize my site. I can also blog from this RSS site. I don't have to donwload anything, it is free sign up and i can assess my RSS feed from any computer.

The only flaw is that I am not able to upload my picture to my profile, but maybe it is my lack of knowledge for this mishap will still keep trying.

Panwapa from bookmark

Panwapa

I just want to show the difference in terms of blogging from a google searchand from a book mark. As you can see from a google search it will give the website with the indication that it was google search but from a bookmark it simple gives the website.

panwapa - Google Search

panwapa - Google Search: "www.panwapa.com"

This is a wnderful virtual world game that is patterned after the Sesame Street T.V. program. It helps young children to be aware and deal with real life issues that are usually very deep and hard to explain. The animations are wonderful and they are interactive and fun. They program allows for five different langauges. The only drawback is that it is audio so a deaf child would have difficulty in using this program.

FreeRice

FreeRice

This is a very educational website that deals with real life issues like world hungry, as well as, it is provided inother langauges. There are different subjects that are avaliable, such as English Grammar and Vocabulary, Geography, Langauges, Chemistry abd Mathematics. The beautiful things about his game is that each correct answer the palyer will donate a certain number of grains of rice to feed the poor. It also shows how much rice was donated on previous days. It is very edcuational and interactive.

bookmark choice

I chose to use clipmark because I thought that it was user friendly, as well as, it allowed the option to blog information on spot. However, I had a very, very, did I mention very bad experience with the program. Here is my story. I viewed all the bookmarks that were presented and really like clipmark so I downloaded it on my laptop that Saturday. Sunday to Tuesday everything was fine and I was experiemtning with it. BUT, on Wednesday I realize that my computer was not boothing and after much investigation by experts with computers.

It was realized that clipmark was the culprit in seriously affecting my computer. I was horrified and scared. I finally got someone who was able to fix my computer but this experience has made me very afraid of downloading anything else on my laptop. This is an experience that I would NEVER want to go through again.

Hence, I started asking around whihc bookmarks other people used and the consensus was 'delicious'. I tried it and like it becuase I DO NOT have ot download anything even though with each use I have to log in. This can be a pain at times but I rather do it like this than download it on my computer. I learned my lesson and DO NOT want a repeat from what happened to me the first time.

I like delicious because it is simple and it tells me how much people have visited that particle site that I have bookmarked. I like the fact that I can cut and paste, as well as, I have the option to send information to my blog without any hassle. But most of all I like that I do not have to download anything on my computer.
