RSS 2.0

This week's task was pretty interesting. I didn't know what RSS was, what it did etc. Now, I know how it works. I feel good about it . Setting up the account was easy. The only problem I encountered was initially it took a bit of time figuring out the various RSS feeds on a particular website. Some of the feeds were outdated, thats when I added the URL of the RSS feed that interested me to Bloglines and now the current feeds show up.
The other thing about Bloglines is that it just shows information, there are no pictures. So, it gets a little boring reading it.
On the other hand if you want to have a quick look at the stuff , its a nice way to read things, all from one site.

GOOGLE UNIVERSE 2.0

From all the different Google tools, I have used Picasa for quite some time. I love organizing my photos using Picasa. Its easy sending photos using this tool, moreover it offers several basic photo editing functions like color enhancement, red eye reduction, cropping etc. You can also create slide shows.
Picasa is a software that makes it easy and fun to view, organise, edit and share the digital photos on your PC.
The only thing I dont like about it is, there is a section "Photos by " and in that section instead of my name, there is a number written. I have tried many times to delete the number and to write my name instead but have been unsuccessful so far .
However,I would definately recommend it to my friends.

Facebook 2.0

I loved facebook. I have visited facebook before but didn't have an account. I had some concerns about privacy and I still do. I am not very comfortable with sending pictures etc but apart from that its awesome. Once I opened my account, I got in touch with most of my school and college friends that I didn't have any contact with earlier. I think I'll keep my facebook account .

Wikipedia 2.0

I actually found wikipedia quite interesting. Searching for various topics was easy . I searched for "Zoroastrianism" and there was a little note saying that the article had multiple issues and help was needed to improve that article . It needed references and general cleanup to meet wikipedia quality standards . Editing was very easy and since anybody can edit articles it just makes wikipedia "not" a very reliable source for information.
