Thing 12 - Tagging

"Del.icio.us is a social bookmarking manager that allows you to bookmark a Web page and add tags to categorize your bookmarks. Tags can be used in Del.icio.us to organize your bookmarks--and let others know what you have bookmarked."

THAT's CRAZYNESSSS...I believe I had to read that 3 times before I THOUGHT I was starting to understand it....hehehe :D or maybe i'm just slow

My definitions for Tag and Bookmark:

TAG: Categorize/List
BOOKMARK: Adding/Faorites

Del.icio.us is a social "addingfavorite" manager that allows you to "add" a Web page and to "cateogrize/label" your "favorites". Labeling can be used in Deli.icio.us to organize your "FAVES" and let others know what you have "added" as your faves.

---beginning to make more sense eh? :D

I'm smiling....

I just finished adding my account in Del.icio.us and adding in my bookmarks and tags...I'll have to say...after a few stumbles...pretty easy....I actually LIKE it...

Its a great THING to learn...why?? because remember the times when you were at a friends house or some strangers house and they were accessing the web AND told you about this absolutely crazy COOL website..and you just didn't have a Paper NOR Pen handy??? WEll....access your account in delicious and add that WEBSITE to your bookmark....easy right??

And And And ANd And...remember those times when you were doing a research paper and you found a REALLY cool website but you didn't have a paper to write down the url and now your a$$ is stuck googling it?? I don't know about you but I WAS-STILL-UNTIL-NOW clicking on that back arrow bc I kept getting to wrong website. But we're given a great solution....type in delicious(www.delicious.com) and VOILA....you have all your FAVES...and if you can't remember what the website was called....type in your tag(cool/neat/easy..etc) and AGAIN..you get your cool website that you forgot....how easy is that???!

I THINK...i THINK....I'm starting to actually appreciate this 16 THings... :)

Hey also remember...the fun part? You can threaten your friends by saying that you'll bookmark their bookmark to your personal bookmark tag list if they don't bookmark you to their tag list of "doing what nancy wants" tag...gotcha? (Hint: Go back to my definition)....

Thing 11 - Online Creations

*sighs*

*sighs*

*sighs*

*sighs*

lol OKAY!!! you've got the idea right? lol I think this new coffee isn't helping either....*smile*

Hmmm....Zoho Show and Slideshare gives you great resources to use as a business or family oriented SHARE....and NO, I'm not Frodo.....maybe....a little...especially in the beginning where he doesn't wanna SHARE his ring...but then he kinda wants to but not really.....come on...who wants to be labeled as the one who "gives" burden to others right? Point taken...never to use Lord of the Rings as an analogy... :D so all in all....SHARING is great....use Zoho Show and Slideshare....especially Slideshare bc I can just upload all my MICROSOFT ppt. documents into it and VOILA...all DONE...easy as that. No Kidding. Invite all the friends you want to. Slick as a ninja(so Teng likes to say....hey hey hey....Thg.5 VS. Thg 11...I can smell the Chipotle).

Okay.....time to cut the cord....

Until Our Next Thing...

Thing 11 - slideshow

Thing 10 - More Flickring Around

Ummmmm.....should I be like Homer and say, "DoooHHH" (if I spelled that correctly) :()
Hmmm...well....More flickring around seems a bit.....fun but confusing??

So to say the least...I started out with Big Huge Labs....abosolutely fun...many varieties and easy to use..EXCEPT I probably will never use it in my professional career...so the only thing would be for family and friends...Oh yes...I do have to point out that AFTER i finished one of my "experiments" for the magazine cover page....I posted it up in Flickr...(easy to do) BUT then I spelled something wrong, so I went back to BHL but it wouldn't let me edit it(unless there is a way and I couldn't see it-but i highly doubt it) so.......i had to take another 5 minutes to do another one. But other than that...it was easy to post up not only in Flickr but also in my Blogger....OH yeah....posting it up in my blog...if you go to it...it's SUPER arse SMALL! lol so....*sighs* unless you have reading glasses (which probably won't even help) you won't be able to see ANYTHING from the posting on my blog....

Alright...now, lets talk about other API's....

Clockr....nothing ever came up....

Flickr Color Picker....??

Spell with Flickr...???

Slashpr....lets not even go there......

All in all, I'd recommend going with Big HUGE labs....but you might spend more time on there then needed....

*smiles*
