A DELICIOUS READER A DAY KEEPS YOU UP TO DATE!

I am actually thrilled to write about this assignment! I am so excited because this assignment has forever changed the way I use the internet and organize my thoughts. This assignment consisted of two parts, creating both a Google Reader account and a Delicious Account.

For those of you who do not know what these are let me explain! Google reader is a avid web consumers best friend. This site stores all of your favorite sites, blogs, and news sources. It then displays recent updates from the sites in a Facebook wall or Timeline format, with most recent at the top of the page. This service allows you to easily navigate and find updates on your favorite sites in the quickest of ease. Delicious is a sharing site. The thing that is unique about it is that you share your bookmark list. A user creates whats called a "stack" of their favorite websites and then publishes it so others can subscribe and follow it. Many stacks are topic focused.

Using delicious was a new experience that took a lot getting used to.  I enjoyed learning how to use a new website and believe the idea to be brillant, however there are some things that I am not to hot about. The only negative comment I could come up with about the site is that it doesn't have that big of a following. All the stacks that I subscribed to only had a handful of followers. I believe if this had more of a user ship the stacks would be added to daily and the site would be utilized to its fullest potential.

There is the link to my account. My first stack is pretty lame but I made a stack of my favorites. I named it A COLLEGE KIDS FIX. My stack was full of fun websites and social media links. More to come as i build ideas and find websites to publish. 

The Google Reader is my new best friend. I literally have every new post from my favorite sites all on one page! I subscribed to several new technology websites and blogs as assignment for Communication and New Media along with some major news websites so I am always informed :) Forbes Tech, CNN Technology, Gizmag, Technology Review and Wired are the sites I have subscribed to on Google Reader. I ook forward to learning alot from using this program. 

Well thats all the time I have for today! Have a great day and never for get to CHARBIE OUT LOUD again! 

PEACE AND BLESSINGS ...PEACE AND BLESSINGS :)
