#14 (week 6)

"Today, the blogosphere is doubling in size every 200 days, or about once every 6 and a half months." I think the growing of blogosphere is getting bigger and bigger, faster and faster as long as people getting to know "blogging"!!!
Tried a keyword search for "Learning 2.0" under Technorati, 510 results found and after searched under tags, 107 results found.

#13 (week 6)

Read through the notes and had a look of "Del.icio.us" - looked at PLCMCL2 account, read the links and found one of the bookmark called "The shifted librarian: libraries with RSS from the catalog (save this library catalogs with RSS feeds), that was interesting.
Yes, if we have different workstations, it is good to have all our favourites links in one social bookmarking manager as "Del.icio.us" and discover quickly other websites that may be of interest to us.

Thing 12

Easy to create an account with Rollyo and successfully create a search roll for "Chinese food"-

http://www.rollyo.com/maduckie/
Did some search and it was fun to create my own search engine with Rollyo.
The point is that I need time to explore a group of websites that are my favourites and they are the best for my special topic.
Anyway, I enjoyed to learn something new!!!

Thing 11

http://www.librarything.com/catalog/maduckie
"Library Thing" was not hard to use and the explanation (tour) was easy to follow.
It was easy to add books to the list, but not all the books, specially other language books.
I don't think I will use it for my online catalog. It is only for learning/knowing.

thing 10

I used this site http://www.ezsmiley.com/ to create my funny face. It was simple and easy. I tried some other generators, they were too hard for me.
Just under "The Generator Blog", it contains heaps of generators, it is fun but needs time to explore them.

#9 (week 4)

Tried couple favourite websites, it was not easy to find the "feed icons". It was not easy to recognize where RSS feeds are. Should have something easy to follow and subscribe.

Tried Feedster, it did not work. Topix.net seemed much user friendly.

I know I can add more Feeds to my Bloglines account that would help me to save the time for recognized the new coming news. But I still prefer to visit my favourite websites under my "favorites" that is much easy and mush user friendly.

Thing 8

Is it true to make life "really simple" with RSS & news reader? My answer is "no".

Followed the program, I created a free online Bloglines account and subscribed 10 news feeds. Information is overloaded!!! I used "favorites" to record my favourite sites. It was much easy.

I understand "RSS and newsreaders" might be good for some professional or companies but not for me. I still prefer "as simple as possible".

Anyway, I found that the notes on ACL learning 2.0 was not easy to follow and very confusion.

Took an hour, I still could not link my bloglines account.
