BCL TLC Thing 10 Del.icio.us

I explored the Del.icio.us. It is a step up from bookmark folders, but I thought it could do more. The NSU site needs more bookmarks. The BCL site is labeled as BLCTLC which is why I couldn't find it the first time. I found that the site is so bare that it doesn't explain how to search mutliple tags. It's all in the help menus. That's so web 1.0.

While the site is useful, I thought the training tips on the video was pretty cool. Social Bookmarking in Plain English (5 min video)

Trouble in paradise.
It turns out we can't install Del.icio.us toolbar on our staff computer. I did install the bookmark helper. I created an account, but I couldn't activate it since the IT blocked access to my gmail e-mail account. I'll have to do this part of the project at home.

Comment on another blog: BCL TLC Thing 9

I made a comment on another person's blog today.
I visited Chess Life and talked about my chess sets: a chess table and Boris the computer.

T-Mobile Wing: BCL TLC Thing 9

I am thinking about getting a smart phone, but not an I-phone.

The T-Mobile Wing is a a cool device that is well-reviewed. The two major cons to it are it has a slow procesor and it is on a slow 2.5 G network. I've tried out the Wing in the store and it doesn't seem to be very slow. Also, I would only be using the data for e-mail and save the Wi-fi for the web surfing so the lack of 3G is not a deal breaker.

ATT has the "Tilt" which is a better version of the Wing as it has a faster processor and is on a 3G network.

Since I've still got around 7 months left on my contract I'll have to see how much it would cost to break my current contract.

There are many things about technology that have nothing to do with technology, but depend on economics and contracts.

Making Trading Cards out of your Flickr photos is one of the more useful Flickr tools. I thought there could be more icons to choose from on the right side.

There were so many tools to explore it was overwhelming. I'd rather be given a list of 5 items to explore than pick my own out of 100.


I tried the Flickr logo maker. It looks cool, but you can't do much with it.
