Assignment #6

1. Yes, I could use this tool in school or just for fun because say that I am looking for something I need I can make an account and watch and choose my prefrences that I am looking for or interested in and they will bring up everything I need and I can read them and make comments and read comments that people left about the story or issue.
2. These tools to me seem to be productivity enhancers, because you do not have to do much work at all the site does it for you and all you have to do is browse through all the results they found for you. Cuts your time in half if they have the information that you are looking for.
3. No, I have no had the chance to ready a story or item on any of these sites, that were posted to it.
4. To me delicious and these sites are about the same they have the same concept going on, you can save and bookmark things, and you can send them to your friends the only difference is that delicious you can do tags and the other sites you can not, but I would catergorize them both as something you can use in the future with many situations and a form of social networking that is expanding as we speak.

Assignment #5

1. The tags that were assigned to this photo were large computers, macs, printers, SCSU and library. I basically did the same just made it a little broader I used 2nd floor, library and Miller center. I used these because it was not as a narrowed down tag.
2. Unfortunetly I do not use any kind of form of photo sharing, I just load it on my computer and take it right off my camera.
3. Yes, I do upload to my face book account and I personally think they are about the same, except with flickr you can have them more private then the facebook acount. Facebook account anyone who wants can look at your photos even if they are not a friend of you but if there are a friend of yours. I personally like the facebook account way just cause I know most of the people on it.

4. I think for if I ever used flickr more often that I would put my pictures public whats the harm

in people looking at your pictures and artwork, if you do not want some stranger looking at your photos then keep them or that one private its that simple. It does not take a genius to use it.

2. In my personal life I could also see my self using this tool for instance for school things and for if I ever want to go on a trip I could use it to keep all my information organized so I do not misplace it.
3. The benefits of social bookmarking are that it is something that anyone can use, its very easy and can be used for many different things and it keeps everything organized, and its very easy to find.

Assignment #3

1. What I like about RSS and news readers is that you can find whatever you want to know more about like 24/7 without having to go and look through a bunch of stuff to find it you can subscribe and get it daily, it is a very nice tool and also very easy to follow, it does all the hard work for you.

2. Yes, I think that I woul be able to use this technology in school and my personal life cause if I need information on reasearch or something can subscribe to a news website and I could also use to in my personal life for instance on different events and fun things that go on and the weather it will keep me updated without me having to take the time to figure out where to look.

3. The tool that I found the easiest to use was the blogline's search tool, it was easy and self explanitory some of the others were a little confusing.
