Google Products

We used many different google products. Some that we used were books, product search, translate, and web search features. Books would be cool if they have the full book you can download so you don't have to go to the store and buy then have it laying around the house. Translate was fun because i learned how to say other things in spanish. product search could be very nice when you're looking for something specific.

Histats

Histats would be cool if you were working for a company and ever time someone viewed your site you got money. It tells you how many people have viewed your site on what days, where they are from, and a lot more. You can design your own counter.

Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking is a way to easily organize your bookmarks and you can access them from any computer. You can add tags so it is easier for you and other people to find. To create and account you register on a social bookmarking website. With any bookmarking website it saves your bookmarks on your computer and on the site that you are logged into. Some websites to use are symbaloo.com, delicious.com and diigo.com

What Is Social Bookmarking?

Social bookmarking is a way for someone to organize, store, manage, and search for bookmarking resources online. You can add descripitions and tags so it is easier for you to find your bookmarks. My favorite bookmarking site is Symbaloo because it's te easiest one for me to get around on and understand.

Symbaloo

Symbaloo is pretty cool, for me it's easy to understand because all your sites are right in front of you and they're just pictures. Because I would rather see things and since i already know most of the symbols for the sites i normally use it is fairly easy for me to justlook at the picture and click it instead of scrolling down a long page looking for the site I want.

Delicious is AWESOME! Anywhere you go you can have all your bookmarks. It doesn't just save them on your computer but also on this bookmarking site! You can share these websites with other people as well.

Buddymarks is a social bookmarking site that lets you import your existing bookmarks that are currently on your computer as well as add new ones as you expand your bookmarks. You can also tag them, add descriptions and probably access them from other computers although I am not for sure.

Second Life

Second life seems really cool, i haven't been able to spend much time on it because you do have to download it to play but you can change your clothes and chat with other people.

Diigo

Diigo is another of my favorites. It lets you highlight certain parts of the page you are on and saves that and the page title to your diigo page. It would be very useful if you are doing research papers with a partner and are working at home and aren't able to work together. I can think of many ways I could use diigo away from school.
