Cooliris add-on

Kind of cool... good to find photos.I've added this to my EI Browser. Still, I think,this app will need a bit more time and intervention and some [simpler?] techniques to be of real value for me. The links to the indicated page for the image are not always reliable (using IE). My experience so far shows better results with Firefox. Quick and easy acess to Youtube content for Margaret MacMillan content search using Cooliris

Was reliable on on Cooliris test!

Social networks

Networking is one of my favourite passtimes. I have a preference for the in-person kind, rather than virtually. However, there are excellent reasons for virtual connections -- common interests being the most immediate one that comes to meme.(mind thought)

For the purpose of RULA- I MAY have a couple of "new' friends on Facebook.... but , what if they reject me... oh dear. There is probably an interest network for "therapy sessions for rejected on Facebook"... or I may start one.
probably however, I will simply move on to the next area of interest.
Ok- on to the next Web 2.0 experience. yippee

Google add-ons and walking

Great fun with Google.
Group edited documents with colleagues was cool. Check out where we would like to travel--
And yes, of course we can travel with Google Earth and see street views of cities on our travel lists. (the SAT images are quite a marvel also!)
i've mapped some routes for our RU_N -Amok (sea to sea race).
I'm clocking my kms and hope our team wins the race (or at least places in the top 10!).
MEANWHILE, WALKING in Toronto; THINKING about Scottish Castles
