No. 19 Web 2.0 awards list

I looked at Ning.com under the category, "mashups." It is a social networking site. People can create their own social network for free (in seconds.) Some sites have 3,000 members. Other sites have one member, the creator. The categories are endless. Some sites are Z Bollywood, NFL Player Perspective, Artbook Coalition, and Firefighter Nation. It can be searched by subject. I tried "cows" and "Jane Austen" which lead to some interesting sites. Almost hard to see a difference between a blog and this. It might be useful for people doing research. Again, time is needed to search each site when doing a subject search. Sometimes what appears under the subject is not exactly what a searcher may have had in mind.

No. 18 Zohohoho again

The second time is the charm. I posted the Shakespeare quote from Zoho to my blog using the "publish" button. I finally figured out what "user name of your blog" meant. On to nineteen.

Untitled

From Shakespeare's Macbeth

 

Thrice the brinded cat hath mewed.

Thrice and once the hedge-pig whined.  Tis time, tis time. ...

 

Double double, toil and trouble;

Fire burn and caldron bubble. ...

 

Since this is the second time I'm working with Zoho to get a Zoho entry on my blog without cutting and pasting, I thought the quote fun and timely.

No. 18 Zohohoho

From what I see, Zoho's big advantage is that it is free and that a document can be viewed in an instant by many people. I learned to use html when sending a document as e-mail. I used copy and paste to put my two Zoho documents, "ZohoTwins"and "ZohoGemini," on my blog. The blog button on Zoho wouldn't work for me. The color didn't come through. If a person had a quick document to type up, Zoho would be handy. For your son's 2,000 point major English project, I have my doubts. I tried to "save as is" but couldn't find anything to save it to. Again, as a mass tool Zoho could be handy. As a personal tool, I'll stick with Word.
