thing17 social networking


Facebook:
If one ha an account for facebook. its a very good way of keeping in touch with friends or relatives around the world. It connects people. one ca upload photos and share. Its a good idea to keep it private so nominated people can share.
My space:
Is basically the same as facebook. one can find love, find old friends and make friends. On this you can upload photos too, share and keep up with friends

Wiki

It is easy to use. It is web based.
What I dont like about wiki is that anyone can make changes.
One can publish events on wiki.
Who ever uses wiki for assignments has to be very careful as the information may not be correct.
This is like a blog on which anyone can add or delete stuff.

Rollyo

Very user friendly.
Fast way to create you own search engine. You dont even need programming.
Rollyo searches latest news, articles and blogspots.
I like it

Library Thing

The Library Thing is the best book site on the web.
Book recommendations are obtained. Patrons can take part in the reviews and rate the books.

Reviews are written with book covers. It appeals to me its not that I judge the book by its cover
but, it makes me read reviews.

If I find I like the book I can then request them

To date this is the best site

Technology

Everthing is moving very fast, the most important thing I like is the way you can keep in touch
with someone very far in no time. I also like the way we can access everything on websites
