Week 4 Tastespotting

Picked this picture for the simple reason that I felt like chocolate cake.
Site easy to use, but would I use it again? The chances are pretty slim when we have library shelves groaning with cookery books. Would I direct someone to it? again probably not would suggest that they look in a book first and failing that sad to say just google it.
Yes I personally would prefer library related tasks although some of the tasks have been interesting and made me look at sites that I would not normally bother with.
What did I get out of doing this exercise - sorry but not much to American and to many clicks until I got to the recipe.

Week 4.5 ...............

JellyMuffin.com - The place for profile layouts, flash generators, glitter graphics, backgrounds and codes

Week 3 FeedMyInbox

Had no problems with this site easy to sign up and log on. Haven't looked at or used any RSS feeds since we encountered them in the 1st stage of web training. Just feel that they are information overload and I struggle now keeping up with the things I really need to know, but saying that I have signed up for Auckland and Wellington libraries blogs and will see how they go - never know I might get hooked.
Would only promote them to customers if it somehow came up in conversation.

Week 2 Picapp

Antarctic, Snow Hill Island, Young Emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) spreading wings

Wow got a picture loaded at last. Certainly not the easiest site to use and would sure not recommend it to our customers. Sorry to say but google images are so much quicker and easier. Site does have some great photo shots though and is very easy to navigate around.

Week 1 Box.net

Well the start of web 2 again - oh what fun.

Signed up for an account with Box net all went well and no problems pretty straight forward to use.

Would I use it personally. No at this stage I would have no use for it and would probably not in the future, would use and external drive - viruses etc.

Would possibly promote to customers if they were in the habit of losing their usb drive or they had work they wished to share with other users.
