Malware, phishing, viruses etc.

Hi all

My family's computer is strongly protected against all of the above so I don't get to see too much of it thank goodness.

Mashups

Hello once again

Bkkeeper - waste of peoples time in my opinion
BookTour - interesting
LibWorm - looks good
Visual Headlines - odd way of looking at news
Interestingness - interesting
Flickr Memari - fun thing to do
Let me google that for you - ok, but can't you get the same info from a straight google search?
Crime Reports - ok but do you really want to know what's happening in your meighbourhood?
Walkable - good idea

On the whole, I can see the advantage of mashups. I'm just about to go look at a few. Bye.....

IM,Skype etc

The libraries that already use these are way out there. It would be nice to see more IT departments embrace such technologies. Considering there is a whole lot of people out there using im, skype etc, you would think IT departments would get on to it. I think customers out there would love being in such contact with their local librarian.

Google Docs

Unbelievable. I love it. Now if I could have someone sit next to me to spoonfeed me through everything, it would be perfect.

I-Google, Ping, 43 MArks and All My Favs

I quite liked I-Google. It was easy to customise even for me.

I had a quick look at the others. Was impressed. What on earth is going on out there. Do people do nothing but network?

Doodle, Google Calender, Eventbrite etc

Interesting. Doodle and Google Calender seem good. I'll just stick with Outlook for now however.

I liked both eventbrite and eventful. Interestingly, Eventbrite called my location Fairfield and Eventful called my location Bankstown. Eventful won as I'm actually in Greenacre.

Really liked Anyinvite. I should pass that on to my kids.

RSS

Do I know what RSS is? Yes.
Do I now know what RSS Filters are? Yes.
Do I use RSS feeds? No.
Should I use RSS feeds? Probably.
Would I use RSS filters? Definately. There is so much out there you need to have filters set up otherwise your inbox will be filled with stuff you really don't want or need.
