Web Identity Project

For this project I tried out 8 different sites, 6 that were completely new to me. I must say that overall I really still enjoy Facebook the most. Facebook is the perfect site for me because you can do anything you want on it. With some of the other sites like Twitter or Flickr your restricted to just one aspect of applications. With Facebook you can do just about anything you could think to do on the internet which is awesome. Facebook is basically my internet life in a nutshell and I prefer it… Continue

pandora

Pandora is an awesome music site! I am not big into music at all but this site was too cool is pass up. At first I must say I was a little confused and unsure of what exactly pandora was about but after I was on the site for awhile I got the hang of it. I had heard of pandora from a few of my friends before so it was easy to ask them questions about the site when I had them but I feel like it might have been more difficult if I didn't have this option. The ideas of "stations" of my own music is… Continue

youtube

Okay so honestly who hasn't at least been on youtube at least once? I go on youtube all the time to play music that I do not have in my iTunes or to see new music videos.

Not only can you share family home videos with your extended family, which my mom does, but you can also view all kinds of videos from around the world. Most of the time I am looking at… Continue

Flickr

Flickr is an awesome picture sharing site! I had never heard of it before but there is some awesome stuff on Flickr. After going on and using it I introduced my mom to the site too. She takes a lot of pictures and it makes it easy for me and my other family members to see her pictures without having to e-mail or mail them. I absolutely love Flickr and would recommend it as a photo upload site for anyone looking for one. I have used Facebook as a "storage" for my pictures in the past but I do pla… Continue

Friendfeed

Friendfeed is an interesting site. I still haven't decided if I like it or not. Its fun that you can link other sites like Facebook and Twitter to your friendfeed. I guess the real question is though do you really need to be on all these sites if your just going to link them all together so that you know whats happening on all of them. How interested can you really be in the sites individually if your going to do this? For me I would just rather stick with one site where the majority of my frien… Continue
