Welcome to the Big Apple: November 2007

Experiences with Onling Generators

These types of things are cool to look at and to find interesting pictures but I don't think that I would use it on a normal basis. I did like flickr.com the best only because you could search for the most interesting pictures or you could look up your favorite show that had been tagged. They were easy to use, once you knew what you were doing. For a few of the mashups there wasn't much in the way of instructions, so you were on your own with figuring out what to do.

Part of me does think that some of these things are a waste of time because unless you know what you are doing and know what you are looking for then you don't really have any use for them.

Evaluating Flickr Mashups

The first mashup that I looked at was www.krazydad.com/colrpickr. It was confusing at first, but then once I played around with it, it was easier to understand what it did. I think that if there were some sort of instruction to what you are suppose to do then it would make the process a lot easier.

The second one I looked at was labs.systemone.at/retrievr. This one was cool because you can just sit there and color all you want. You can draw whatever you want too. Even though the screen is a little same it's still fun to do.

The last one I looked at was flickrvision.com. This one was cool too because it kept refreshing it self to what had been uploaded in the last few minutes. The only thing that I didn't like about it was that it didn't stay on the picture for very long. You only had a few seconds to look at it and then it moved onto something else.
