Authors on the web.

Reading group had some good tips for book groups though there have been no updates since 2008. It also has some good recommendations which might come in handy. Also had some recommendations for teen book groups which I printed off to have a look at. So this could come in verey handy :)

Authors on the web was alright but kind of perferred the layout off the 1st one as you'd need to know

What was missing from it was a search box incase you are looking for something in particular.

My final thoughts

Even though I enjoyed the Geneology one and creating my cats an online family tree on Geni and My ancestry and I enjoyed watching funny videos on Stubleupon...I didn't like having to use sites which you have to join up with. I found this most frustrating. I'm also not a person who enjoys posting comments...as it tis not something I enjoy doing, which is another reason why i'm calling it quits.

Yep like the last I moaned all the way through it...In fact my work colleagues would be more than pleased that this is the last on I intend on doing. Was glad it wasn't compulsary this time as that would have been horendo from my side. Glad though that I decided to give it one more final shot before calling it quits . I'm not one who does things cause incentives are involved. Was more looking at doing it cause there was a mentionof a book group site.

The animation one was fun too, but using animoto was like being hooked up to an internet dial up connection. It was unbearably slow.

Kinda felt rushed and like i'd run outta time towards the end...and am only just able to finish it.

Well this is my views of the course and would like to end with....



WWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!

I've finished. :)

Week 5: Socializing

Had a look at reddit as I didn't find it visually appealing. However as it was the easier on to join I joined up with it. It looks more like an online chat room rather than a book discussion one ..so was a bit disappoint in this aspect of it.

On reddit I came across an article titled 'Martha Stewarts Dog died'

It was reported that Martha Stewarts Chow named Ghengis died in a freak accident when a propane delivery man whas filling up a tank at the kennel. He tried to save as many of the dogs as he could, but sixteen dogs, Ghengis included, died. How the freak incident occured has yet to be released. It also said that the sad news was that Ghengis was 'the only male chow in the litter of Chow pups bore by his mother Sahara.'

I also had a look at stumble upon. This was visually more appealing. It reminded me of a mixture of You Tube and Google combined as one. S3earching through my You tube thoughts were correct as some of the video clips I had a look through were you tube links. Came across a video link for 'hillarious animals' and had a look at the acccociated clips. One was transcribed in another language, but it didn't really matter cos you got the gist of what was going on through the pictures. I had a good laugh while watching these videos on this site, as there were other associated links to cruise through too.

On this site you could rate the clipps , whilst on redditt you could leave comments about articles viewed if you wish.

Why Animoto when you can also go animate :)

I had ago at uploading slides on Animoto. However it took a long time for it to install slides and it almost seemed like the screen had frozen. Had fun with it though.

I enjoyed go animate...though I got a bit frustrated thinking that i'd not created a clip.. and found that when I tried to add in a scence ... it didn't want too.
