Week 8 # 18


Zoho Writer

zoho writer was really quiet exciting i found it was pretty good that you can create a document on line and also off line so you can share a document with someone and add people who want to only read it and for others who want to edit Soho writer is easy to use and documents can be saved online.

Week 7 # 17 Social networking

I created an account in Facebook and had a look around finding how friends can keep in contact all around the world share photos see what people are talking about and even finding jobs and keeping up with the news.



I looked at Auckland City Library bebo.com and created my account and added some friends


i have many friends now.


Then i looked throughMy space.com I was able to look at it without a login.



Then i created a facebook.com account it doesnt let you look around without creating an account and you have to request to be a friend it seems like a great net working site.



I looked at Hennepin-County-Library and thought that was very good they have a lot of fans and you chat with the librarian and put a wall post if you wanted to.
