in the cloud ... yup, been there for awhile .... hotmail.com (although I do save to my desktop in an e-mail software package important e-mails I don't want to disappear), flickr ... hmmm, dead brain right now so can't think of others ... other than this obvious one: this blog!
I've not jumped on board with using the doc type clouds -- but think it would be great if I needed to present or had to use multiple computers such as in teaching in different classrooms.
I'm guessing that there will be more and more cloud apps in the future ... some that will stay and some that will be short-lived ... guess this can be said for regular apps too. Okay, so I'm not a great fortune teller!

Thing 40 -- Mashup the web
05/01/2009
hmmm, wheel of lunch?? A good idea considering we're usually trying to figure out where to go for dinner every Friday night! And even though we have numerous places available we always tend to get stuck in a rut and can't think of anywhere so end up at one of our several "usuals". As for lunch, the selection is very limited in this small town I work in -- I drive 20 miles from home to work.
Visual headlines -- this is very cool! A very interesting way to look at the headlines of the day. I clicked on some of the pics and saw many from flickr ... I liked this one titled "tiny teeth".
TimeTube -- another cool mashup tool. I like rocks so I entered "rock" as a keyword. It was interesting to see the results such as: friends rock, rock & roll, rock bottom, kid rock etc.
Walk Score -- I tried my area and only ranked a 5 out of 100 and "must drive" but then I live in a suburban area -- actually my house is built on an old dairy farm field! I also tried the Duluth downtown area and that rated much higher with a 89 out of 100 and "very walkable". I think this would be a useful tool for travel because of the helpful links on the side pointing to such things as libraries, shopping, dining etc.

Thing 5 Revisited -- More Flickr Fun
03/18/2008
I was so inspired by Linda's "Missy Kitty/Warholized" that I had to try it myself! So here's me (at about age 15) "Warholized" using BigHugeLabs Warholizer. I think Missy Kitty still rules but I had fun trying!

Think 5 -- More Flickr
02/19/2008
Puzzled?? I tried the jigsaw puzzle from BigHugeLabs ... and here we are!
Here's the web address if you'd like to try it:
http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/jigsaw.php
I also tried "Spell" so here's some "attitude" for you ...
Jigsaws & "Spell" could both be fun options in a variety of ways ... I think especially for attracting kids.
Thing 4 -- Flickr
02/19/2008
I had already explored Flickr but only a little bit so this was a fun experience! I have a Yahoo account (my "junk" e-mail acct!) so it was easy to create a Flickr account & upload some pics. I tried out the Flickr blogging tool and found it very easy to use; I also went directly from blogspot and edited my posts that I had made from the Flickr blogging tool. All went smoothly.
As for uses I think that I might find Flickr a fun tool for at home use to share pics etc ... but I don't think that I would have the time to use this tool at work.
