#9 Flikr and beyond!

I was just having a look through Flickr and it has sooo many interesting and funny photos there.
I did a search on photos on shopping and I got over one million hits! That was amazing. So instead of looking through hundreds of them I selected the photos of shops in Asia and found this really cool photo. Hope everyone had fun looking through Flickr. Here's the link to this photo.

#8 On Rollyo!!

Well, yet another account created! And wasn't that the most easiest thing to do. The next thing was to get my head around the whole thing. That's not very easy when it's well into the afternoon and your head is very heavy and all you want to do is sleep!!!
No fear, I plodded on to the land of the unknown, the creation of search engines!
I hope I did it right!! It was very illuminating and I'm sure is useful in various aspects of industry, what they are I'm still to find out!
I managed to create my own Searchroll on Rollyo.

#7 LibraryThing

I had no idea I could share all of my favourite books with the world. What a really amazing idea LibraryThing is!!! I couldn't wait to start adding my books to my own library.

I found the whole site very interesting and user friendly. The forums to chat and talk to groups of peolpe who share your tastes in books looked very tempting to try out but these days the time just flies so I just glanced at these.

Even though I'm fairly new to all this blogging and stuff I would definitely enjoy continuing with LibraryThing once this whole Web 2.0 business finishes.
Here's the link to my initial collection so far.

#6 Image Generators


Here it is!! My first attempt at adding images! The image generators are pretty interesting things to have around.
This is the picture I liked the most, partly because I like the patterns my favourite barrista makes on my coffee!!
Hope to have a few more cool stuff on my blog soon.

#5 On Technorati and others

Several weeks of procrastination later I have managed to complete week 2 on RSS!!
That's what happens when one's annual leave falls during the middle of the year!
Well, now that I'm back and in the full swing of work mode, I managed to put all thoughts of further procrastination aside and complete the tasks set out in week 2.
I had a look at Technorati and Syndic8.com. They were very extensive in what they offered and I'm sorry to say but I didn't find it very easy to navigate. Topix.net, however, is a different story. I am happy to say that I found that to have a better layout and easy to navigate through. It seems to have the more interesting feeds as well. I would definitely check for feeds through Topix.net next time I'm online!
