Word Clouds

Word clouds are simply just fun, entertaining, and easy ways to make collages about anything you might want to talk about.  All you have to do is, think about a topic, put in words about the topic, and sit back and watch it turn into a fun collage.  Of course, you might have to go back and edit it to make it perfect, but it's worth it to have a nice collage.  To start on your own collage, visit any of these sights-> Wordle, TagCrowd, and  WorditOut. Here are some examples of collages that i have made.

Wordle

New Virtual World!

I found an interesting new virtual world that is very much like our life. It is called secondlife.com. People can create an account, and customize it in any way they want. They can have a job, shop at life-like places, and all sorts of jazz. One thing that is good about second life, is that anyone can customize it any way they want, and there is so much stuff to do, it is endless. One bad thing is that is it kind of hard to get the account set up. It is hard to explain, so try it out for yourself.

Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking is a way for internet users to manage, store, and organize bookmarks of resources on the web. In social bookmarking, users can save links to web pages that they want to remember and share. The bookmarks can usually either be public or private depending on the person. It can also be shared with groups or networks. These bookmarks can be about anything. It can be informal, fun, and social. People can even add comments and chat about that link, or anything else in that web site.
