Thing 10

I liked BigHugeLabs. It's right up my alley. I love to make collages and mosaics and whatnot. I think this could be very useful for school work.

Thing 9

I chose this picture because I have a slight obsession with Lady Gaga. I think flickr.com could be very helpful for school and business because it is exccessable from anywhere.

Thing 8

I found the wiki concept interesting because I had never done it before. Wiki makes me a bit nervous though because people could put false information on it and without you knowing, you could use that information for something important. I think a school calendar edited by only teachers and administration would be a good idea. That way, you know what all is going on in the school and are able to have updates sent to an email if you wish. I think that teachers that ban wikipedia as a valid source are smart because like I said earlier, if you use false information as a source, you don't have proper validation.

Thing 6

Digg can be beneficial for projects and school because if a person is taking an english or journalism class, it would be a good place to go to find news stories to write about.

Thing 7

Thing 7 is a solution to so many people's problems-- especially mine! I feel like I can never keep track of all my documents. Wish I would have known about this earlier!! I decided to go with Google Docs because it was easy to access. I would have liked to go with Dropbox, but it required a download.

Thing 5

I decided to get a Plurk because I don't like Twitter. I don't think I like it because I haven't gotten the hang of it yet. I think sites like these are good to have because it gives you a sense of identity. To have a blog or a website, it lets people say what they want and not necessarily get criticized for their opinion. It also gives others a chance to tell you what they think. Like thing 4, I think having this could be beneficial, especially for networking and future employers.

Thing 4

I already had a Facebook before I came across this step, but then again.. I'm guessing just about everyone does. Facebook is a very beneficial thing to have because it helps build networks. One specific benefit that I get from Facebook is that as a graphic design major, posting my art work makes it public to everyone, thus giving employers a chance at seeing my potential and passion at what I do.
