Observation regarding Web 2.0

Hello Jay,
In the last few days I have experienced with twitter, iGoogle and Web 2.0. It took me some time to understand how iGoogle  conects all of the above + e-mail accounts and how, I the account user, can edit all of them. I will stop using twitter, if I can use my blog more succesfully for communication. By the way, speaking of communication, is there a spell check in this blog service?

Blog regarding Pt # 3 of project

Hello every1,


Hope you can follow me, I don't follow ...any1!! I found this article about Facebook, post here the link and let me know what you think: oooops, it did not work!

I try again later. .....still have not found the article. In the meantime I have a twitter name 7enbuerger. Going home, with twitts, blogs, ipod, and other gizmos in my ear!

5. Did I like iGoogle?

Yes, I did. The features are easier to use then in Reader. Thanks to a great teacher, Mr. Jay Baker, and with help from Jean & Byung, I succeeded to understand more about the RSS symbol, which, I have to say this, intrigued me for quite some time.

Thanks everyone for their help!

4. Outlook or Google Reader?

Frankly, I did not try Outlook yet. There are too many e-mails that I receive anyway, one more feature (gizmo) to "bring in" even more information seems, for now at least, a little bit too much.

3. Answer

It took me some time to adjust using Google Reader, probably as a result of limited use. Replacing the scrolling with "Next item" command is much better; however, the "Remove" step is "several mouse-clicks away". The "Star" feature/command reminded me of the Favorites in the regular Internet page.

2. Describe how to locate an RSS feed.

An RSS feed is represented, in most cases, by an orange square with a white dot and "emanating" waves, similar to .)))). In some situations, the feeds are located at the bottom of the website, in a coloured square with the letters XML. Once these icons are clicked, a new website opens and makes the subscription - to it's feed- possible.

1.What is RSS is and what it is for?

RSS is an abbreviation for Really Simple Syndication, in fact a website feature that enables, a visitor of that website, to have updated website information. Once you, the website visitor, activates the feature - subscribe to it- the information, on the website, is updated regularly. When you visit the website, the information is current.

Test for Jay

Hello Jay,

If you can read this, it means two things: a) either I was lucky in following your directions or b) I really made it by my own efforts, by following your directions! In both situations, it's not your fault.
