Thing 16

I think Geotagging is fun I did a few pictures.

I don't know why people want to Geocache, but my friend's mom does it all the time, she really enjoys it.

Thing 15

I listened to the Minnesota Twins Fan Network. http://podcast.com/show/74563/Minnesota-Twins-Fan-Network/  The Podcast directory I found most useful was http://podcast.com. I think I might subscribe to some podcasts and listen to them.

Thing 14

I like the Research Project Calculator.  It tells you all the steps of what you need to do and it gives you a date by when you need to have that part done so you can finish by the due date.  This will help me manage research projects by sending this page to me as an email so I will always have it, and it helps me by telling me what I need to do and when I need to do it by.  I might be able to use this in the future if i have a project I need to get done.

Thing 13

I chose iGoogle because i really like Google, and I did make it my homepage.  I like the weather tool because I can figure out the weather before I leave for class or before I go somewhere.  Online calendars are useful because you can remember birthdays and appointments.  I think to do lists are too much work, I kind of remember what I need to do in my head.  Backpack isn't anything I can use right now.  I tried 30 Boxes - online calendar.

Thing 12

I like Del.icio.us because I can have all my bookmarks on that website instead of saving a bunch in my browser.  I can see potential for this tool when I'm doing research because I can save all the sites I use for my paper, all in one site.  Tagging on Flickr helps you find photos you're interested in just by searching.

Thing 11

You can use these tools for professional use by sending the link with your resume, or for personal use you can send the link to friends and family.  I recommend Picture Trail.

Thing 10

I used Big Huge Labs to make my photo into a puzzle.

You can use Flickr for school work by uploading your image and share it with teachers. I use Flickr and I use DeviantArt. I like having my photos public because I can get comments on my photos.

Thing 8

You can find anything on the wiki sites, and that's what I found interesting.  There are so many articles. Teachers ban Wikipedia because anyone can edit and change the information.   I edited how to kiss somebody who is a different height.

Thing 7

I like Google Docs more because it's like Microsoft Word but on the internet.  Our founding fathers would have loved Google Docs it would make their writing so much easier.

Thing 6

Digg has a lot of news you can use for your next research project.  You can connect with your Facebook to increase your popularity.

Thing 5

I chose Twitter because everyone has a Twitter, so I can follow all my friends and celebrities that have Twitter.  Twitter is unique because you can always know what people are doing at any time, or just random things they want to tweet about.  Twitter can be bad because people could tweet something bad about someone, kinda silly.

Thing 4

Facebook: http://facebook.com/clownytipper
LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/tarah-parks/23/a50/634

I joined the Ai network on Facebook and have found students from there.  In my interests section on Facebook I have art, graphic design, and photography.  I will use Facebook to promote myself to future employers by not having any "bad" pictures on.  I can build a professional network by having some of my work on Facebook.  The differences between professional networks and social networks are you use sites like Facebook to find friends, and you use sites like LinkedIn to promote your working skills.

Thing 3

My Ai Campus is useful to me because I can access my student email and check grades.  It's a good resource for all students because when they need to let their teachers know they are missing class they need to use their student email, and they can access it here.  When I first tried to access My Ai, I did have some problems logging into my email but I got it figured out!

Thing 2

I subscribed to three RSS Feeds.

• CNN.com Top News
• MLB Minnesota Twins
• USA Today Life News

I like that I can subscribe to things I'm interested in so I don't have to read about things I don't like.

Thing 1

This is my first post, and I learned how to create a blog and add a gadget.
