Week 5: Image generators

#10. This week I looked at image generators such as wallpaper and calendar generating sites. I also learned how to pull an image onto a blog such as the following from Google images (see below).

#11. I explored sites from the Web 2.0 awards list such as Technorati and LuLu. Technorati seemed to be interesting with its "Rising blog posts" and "Rising news stories by attention" so those with the most interest are at the top, which can be helpful. Some of these news links could be helpful to library patrons if they were on a library's web site.

#12. I explored Rollyo which seemed helpful at grouping web sites on one topic or a group of favorite web sites. An example is: rollyo.com/sj_learning/. I found a reference area which had a lot of good sites such as: bartleby.com, askoxford.com, refdesk.com, timeanddate.com, and zip4.usps.com. Another area I liked was "Travel" with travelpost.com, tripadvisor, igougo, etc. I rolled my own tennis searchroll for tennis equipment with tags such as "tennins, rackets, racquets, balls.
