Ancient Sea Scorpion Was Bigger than Man

Scientists have uncovered the fossilized claw of a 390 million year old sea scorpion in a German quarry. They estimate that the cannibalistic creature, which has been named Jaekelopterus rhenaniae, was nearly 8 ft (2.5 m) long, making it at least 1.5 ft (46 cm) longer than any previously known eurypterid, or prehistoric sea scorpion. While fossil record has long shown that ancient arthropods were much bigger than they are now, this discovery suggests that prehistoric spiders, insects, and crabs were significantly larger than previously thought.

Week***10 # 23 Is this really the end?

That was awesome!!!
Overall I learned a lot about technology and not just. I had a lot of fun when I had to choose my Meez or when I created my first flikr badge. Easy to create but after that, hard to transfer to our blog. But now we have experience...and we are video producers :)... Without knowing we create a connection between us and it was so nice. Before I didn't now about Blogliness, Library Thing or Library Elf. The last two are very helpful and I think everybody should open an account. Anyway, special thanks for those people who create this, because for me personal it was a good lesson.

Week***9 # 22 Downladable Media

I took a look on Over Drive, the collection is not that big but is something. I like Wowio because it's free, bur I don't think I will download books very soon. About Librivox,I found this very interesting: "is a digital library of free public domain audio books, read by volunteers".

Week 9 # 21 Podcasts and Smodcasts

A podcast is basically an audio or video file that can be downloaded and listened to over the web on a computer or downloaded to a mp3 player. The Internet coupled with personal technology like iPods and MP3 players have empowered everyone with a new voice while redefining what "Radio" is in the 2000s from both a technical and distribution sense. Although I love traditional Radio, I'm also willing to embrace new paradigms.

Week 8 # 19 Web - based App

Zoho Writer is by far the best browser based word processing software available.  It features auto-save, email support and the one no one else has: a spell checker.  

Week*** 8 # 18 Social Networking

Join the Catster community

Today Social Networking are fantastic, typically a social network is a service that allows you to keep track of your friends, family, and business relationship .I started a list of all the Social Networking Applications and I found Ning very interesting.I open an account and it was easy to sign up. Ning is in contrast to MySpace/Facebook where the primary orientation is around personal profiles — which are harder to advertise against than topics or locations.
And because I am a cat lover I couldn't resist to take look at catster.com. It is fantastic...

Week***7 # 17 About technology

I guess without knowing we all enjoy the new technology every day. Before we didn't have Blogs and I never thought I will have one, but the day came... and now I can say, it was very useful because we learned many new things and nothing could happened without a "computer".

Week***7 # 16 Wiki

According with wikipedia, wiki it's a type of website that allows users to add, remove,or otherwise edit and change most content very quickly and easily.
I create my own wiki with the help of Wetpaint it's free and easy to set up.

Week***6 # 15 Library 2.0

Library 2.0 simply make our library space (virtual and physical) more interactive, collaborative.

Week***6 # 14 Technorati

Today I opened my account at Technorati.com.Technorati is a Page Rank 8 website and is one of the most influential Web 2.0 sites. Once I open an account with them it was very important to claim my blog also. In order to do that, Technorati requires that you put the URL of this blog and also that you insert a small HTML code on the post itself that links to your Technorati.

week***6 # 13 del.icio.us

del.icio.us is a social bookmarking website, which means it is designed to allow me to store and share bookmarks on the web. This has several advantages.

First,I can get to my bookmarks from anywhere, no matter whether I am at home, at work, in a library, or on a friend's computer.

Second,I can share my bookmarks to publicly(but i'm still thinking about that), so my friends, coworkers, and other people can view them for reference, amusement, collaboration, or anything else.

Third,I can find other people on del.icio.us who have interesting bookmarks and add their links to my own collection. Everyone on del.icio.us chooses to save their bookmarks for a reason.I have access to the links that everyone wants to remember.I can see whether two people have chosen to remember a link, or whether it was useful enough for a thousand people to remember -- which may help me find things that are useful for me, too.

Week***5 # 12 Library Elf

It's a service that offers me email alerts and even an RSS feed when my reserved library books are ready for me, and reminders when the books I have are due back; it tells me if I have fines.

Library ELF is great for families or anyone else who would like reminders before an item is due.

Week***5 # 11 Library Thing

I've been quite happy to spend time cataloguing my own books with the help of Library Thing. It is handy since you can enter just the ISBN or title or author and it will find anything that matches in one of a large selection of sources. I know that my tastes are somewhat idiosyncratic, but I was still a bit surprised at how few people have some of my favorites.

Week ***5 # 10 Avatars and image generators

I love image generators, there are funny and you can play with. I like to change my look most of the time , in this way you can express yourself.

For this picture I used Reflection Generator, uploding the picture from the hard drive. I set the reflection size and the background color.

Week***4 # 9 Finding Feeds

Bloglines let you create a custom blog (hosted on Bloglines) to store and share your clippings and favorites. Today I subscribe for few more feeds and now will be easy to find what I want, very fast. I already have around 15 feeds and this is just the beginning. I create a Bloglines link on my blog and when I want to see my favorite website just click on and this is it...

Week***4 # 8 Make Life "really simple" with RSS and a newsreader

I found this very interesting and I will take a look every day to see what is new. It was kind of hard to get in and understand what I have to do, but finally I made it.

Check out my Slide Show!
