So far I think Del.icio.us is an awsome bookmarking site as it would be very handy to have all your regular sites saved to the net rather then on your own personal computer making them accesible from wherever you have internet access. I have now signed up to Del.icio.us and have got all my favourites and most regularly visited sites all there waitning for me I think it is very handy and pretty easy to use too.
Technorati, I think this would be very good for you if you are into news and sports and enjoy reading and talking about it with others and finding out others opinions on subjects. Im not really into this kind of thing as I dont know it just doesnt really interest me quite plainly I guess. You get different search results when you look up a keyword search on Learning 2.0, different i mean as in the posts or search's by tags show up stories that people have posted while blogs seem to be more of a learning 2.0 focused blog where the posts or tags are just certain stories about learning 2.0.
The favourites at the moment are quite amusing as Jennifer Garner is at number 4 and men at number 5 under the top searches.

Week Rima - Wiki's and PBWiki
I found the Wiki's to be rather boring, i know they would be a good source of information that can be shared but it really depends on what sort of information you are looking for and for me that isn't really it. For one thing Wiki's are where people who register can write up what they think of the topic but they can be based on no real fact or even made up depending on the person writing it so I wouldn't really be able to trust sources from those sort of sites.
I think libraries could use a wiki to review and recommend books and other library items to each other and possibly include an overview of the book to help other patrons find there next book to read.
PBWiki, as in the manukaulearn wiki is interesting because you can find out what sort of things your colleagues like however you could do that with the blog or with talking to them and asking, or by using many of the other sites we have been visiting.

Week Wha - Flickr and Technology
Well I used flickr in play week to make my mosaic of my cartoon pictures so this week I made Winnie the Pooh and Tweety Bird trading cards. The thing with these are that I don't have the photos i would like to be working with as I have been using the work computers and cannot get onto some of the sites I would have been able to get some photos off. I don't have the internet at home because I am a poor student, so I have made do with my cute cartoon characters but I think they have still turned out well.
I have used Picasa before as a photo gallery and to combine photos onto a disc etc so I have had a little experience with those aspects of week 4 already.
Now the bit of technology I will be talking about today is the PSP which is made by Sony. For those who do not know what PSP stands for it is a Playstation Portable.
It all started with the original Playstation which was a game where the console connected to your TV, then they bought out the Playstation 2 which had better graphics, this console however was thought to be too bulky so they then introduced the Playstation 2 slim line (which I still have one of those.). After the slim line they introduced the glorious PSP.
Now I will tell you why I will be buying one of these in the very near future. The PSP is as you guessed it, portable the controls are on either side of the screen and are very similar to the original games controller to keep the playstation look. It can play games with cool graphics, it can play its own DVDs which are smaller than normal DVDs and you can play it wherever you go. In the car, in your room at lunch on your break the possibilities are almost endless. Also you can charge your PSP either from a power point in your home or in any building, charge it from your PC (computer), and you can even charge it in a car as you can get a car charger that fits into the car lighter port.
I mostly want a PSP so when my flatmates are playing there games that I don't like or can't play on the big TV in the lounge I can sit there and play my PSP and NOT be antisocial. It is also good to watch a movie in the car on those long trips especially since you can get a car charger and not have to worry about the batteries going flat.
Also I thought as a help I would add photos of each playstion, ending with the PSP.
I will not introduce the PS 3 into the equation because I wont be getting one of those in the near future but it wont be that far off. ;)
