Module #13 Social Bookmarking

This module was pretty interesting to me. I had heard of social bookmarking before but never really knew what it was exactly. After I read about it I found that I do this all the time! With Facebook and Twitter I share news stories, website, links to different things that I find interesting that I feel some of my fellow friends and followers may like. One site that has come to mind as a new kind of social bookmarking site is Pinterest. People can click on pictures of so many different things and when they do they are taken to the original website or page that it came from. I am very into Pinterest at the moment so I guess I am into social bookmarking too!! I have linked 5 news stories and sites on my Delicious account and also a few below.

Online Surveys

I loved this module. I have always liked doing surveys myself just for fun. They are a good way to pass the time, or to distract you when you are supposed to be doing something else more important, haha. I have also used surveys in work and classes when others need to get information for a project or event. I had never made a survey myself before doing it for this module so it was fun. I asked really random and general question as to not offend anyone! Hope you all get a chance to take the survey!

Image Generators

I have heard about image generators but had never really used them until I just did the Module for them. I looked at all of the ones listed and explored what they all had to offer. I think this is a great resource to have especially for students, college student in particular. It allows you to add flare to presentations and also allows you to show off your personality through pictures and what not. I think I will be using some of these image generators for fun or I may possibly use it in the future when I go back for my next degree. Here are a couple links to things I created or found while playing around on the linked sites.

YouTubing!!

I have had an account on YouTube since highschool. I don't post videos but I subscribe to certain channels and watch them on a daily basis. Some of them are like my tv shows, I watch them on a daily or weekly basis. I have linked a video related to "library" in this blog down below. I love YouTube and have really gotten into it in recent years.
