Welcome

Welcome to my second blog although I cann't remember my first blog's URL because I haven't use it after I created years ago. This one just for my Web2.0 progresses.

Week 4 : TasteSpotting - a community driven visual potluck


As you can see I chose Prawn Dumplings recipe because that's my favourite dish when I go out to yim cha. Do you want to know how it taste? Now here it is: "So I started with the wasabi prawn dumplings, which is really a har gao with abit of the green stuff on top. And you know what, Yes. The dumpling wrapping is slightly chewy, with abit of spring, doesn’t break when you bite into it, and the minced prawn stuffing is heavenly. Spongy yet delicate; fresh yet appetizing and with a sharp shooting zing of the wasabi in the nose. We’re off to a great start."
I think the site is easy to use and follow. I'll come back to browse if I need to find some recipes or resturants. For Web 2.0 training it doesn't have to be work related because you never know what the customers are going to ask you for. Personally I know that there is another resources of delicious food out there for me.

Week 3 : FeedMyInbox - RSS made simple

This one seems very staightforward. I subscribed both Manukau & Auckland libraries blog. In this way I can follow up these blogs whenever I check my emails. It's easy to use but I don't think many customers will be interested to use it because most of us and our friends don't blog often. I'll try to remember this site just in case got asked.

Week 2 : Picapp - when a picture is worth a thousand words

CHARLOTTE, NC - MARCH 02:  A bird sits in a tree covered in snow during the aftermath of a snowstorm on March 2, 2009 in Charlotte, North Carolina. A late season snow storm hit the East Coast of the U.S. late Sunday evening and early Monday morning.  (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)
I chose this image because I think it's very beautiful. I think it's easy to use for customers probably because the main funtion of this site is to search images. For our staff it'll be easier to find if we add the site as a favourite in future. I will definately come back to get pictures when I need some and I'll recommend to the kids for their homework.

Week 1 : Box.net - online file storage

I'm thinking to use this in our new Chinese book selection. What I can do is share the new Chinese book lists from bookstores and all our Chinese liaisons could select at one place and mark on one file. That means I don't have to conbine each branch's list together and will save a lot of time for me. Wow interesting.
I do think it'll take some time to get familiar with it. So I'm not sure whether our customers will be interested in it. Maybe the young ones will. What doesn't work for me is upload files. I still haven't uploaded one file yet maybe because of the staff computer's accessibility. I'll try it on learnet or personal computer later.
