Web 202, Week 2 - Picapp

I have just had a look at the website Picapp.com and enjoyed watching their informative video.

I could see where Picapp would be useful for keen bloggers who want to create an interesting blog with more than just a lot of text. Having an image store to select photos from and easily copy and paste them to your blog would be a great way to attract people to your blog.

I found the site easy to navigate as would our customers. Some of the categories I had a look at though did not seem to relate to the topic and were just photos of people or other things. For example, when I searched 'pets' some of the photos were of racing cars!

The photo I chose of artifical limbs all lined up took my fancy, the owners of these limbs may have gone on a one-legged race, but I think it is actually something to do with a football match for disabled people.

It is good to know about Picapp.com for future use.

Web202, Week One - Box.net Online file storage

Have just learnt about and used Box.net for the first time!

It was easy to make an account and follow the instructions on how to create a folder and upload a file to it. I have opted to share my folder with the link http://www.box.net/shared/350ueeezer.

Although I don't think I would use this personally, it is worth knowing about so that we can help our customers use it if they don't want to save their work to a flash drive, burn aCD or email it to themselves. So, online storage would be an alternative option for them.

Yes, I would promote Box.net to our customers as it is versatile in that a person only needs internet access in order to access their files anywhere, anytime.
