Photosharing

Flickr seems to have a ton of features that you could spend quite a bit of time exploring.  I've added the Flickr RSS feed to my Google Reader, we'll see if it proves informative, interesting or annoying.  Interesting that they have partnered with Picnik for editing and Snapfish for specialty printing. 

There seems to be a ton of photosharing options that I have become aware of lately and I haven't become loyal any of them yet.  I was sharing the very few photos that I do post solely on Facebook, but it has proven a hurdle for a couple of family members who refuse to join.  Windows Live has a much simpler option that creates a temporary (90 days) album online accessable by a link in an email that is more likely to be the less intimidating option for my relatives.  My home laptop keeps trying to promote Snapfish to me as well but I haven't explored it yet. 

I'm not really interested in posting any photos to the general public so Flickr is not likely something I'll pursue but it could be a very valuable tool for anyone wanting to be found by the public.

This is a photo from the far end of Western Brook Pond, NFLD (in Winter) which is on my list of places to re-visit (but in summer).   I did have a bit of trouble posting it, ended up copying the HTML because Blogger didn't like the links.

Wikis & Wikipedia

I've used Wikipedia quite a bit.  It's often amusing the range of things that are included on there.  I've never contributed to a wiki but suspect I will have opportunity through LLDP soon enough.  I can't see using one in my day to day work tasks.

And now I am officially caught up before the end of catch up week!  (Although keeping up with everyone's blogs is a different matter!  So many videos to watch!)

Podcasting

Much like I've done with Google Reader, over the last few weeks I have subscribed to a multitude of podcasts through iTunes.  Not only does this information junkie find them quite interesting; a secondary benefit is that they are proving to be the perfect distraction in switching my brain from work mode to home mode on the bus ride to and fro.
I do not ever imagine myself creating my own podcast.  I'm not one to think quickly or speak well on my feet.  I would definately require a script; and if I'm going to write it out, why not just blog?

The Nutrition Diva Podcast

YouTube

Pretty straight forward.  I continue to speed through to catch up.....

Prezi

Only a few weeks behind....

I had heard that quite a few people had trouble with Prezi or that they had found it very time consuming, which only encouraged me to put it off further.  Now that I've done it, it's not so bad. I only spent about 20 minutes creating a very brief presentation that included all the listed elements.   I definately see how it could add more life if you're looking to include a wow factor. 

On to YouTube!
