SnapGalaxy!

I used SnapGalaxy to upload my photo album.

It is an online tool that lets you upload your photos and then order prints if you want to. Your friends and family can easily view your showcased photos on the internet from their own homes and even order prints if they wish to! It's useful because your friends and family can view your photos without you having to do a lot of work. I know this from experience because I recently had family photos done and this would have been a simple way to get everyone to order their own prints. I have family in Evansville and Chicago.

It didn't really take much to learn this technology because it is pretty much exactly like Facebook's photo uploader that I use all the time. It is very user-friendly! The only thing that is a downside about it is that it takes a really long time for photos to upload. Like 9 minutes for 5 reasonably sized photos. I would say it's helpful to me because it's easy for family to see these photos from their own homes. I would say it's also useful for anyone with family that lives far away.

I would suggest having a fast internet connection to use this tool.

Other than that, sign up and get ready for easy photo sharing!

RSS - Who would've thought?

So simple, what a time-saver!!!

I love my RSS feed! I don't have to click on each individual website to see what is going on! I can get on my blog, click on what seems interesting and then I'm good to go! I love what I have found using my RSS feed. I have found lots of information on the latest technology, all sorts of information in the education world, cute pictures of kittens, all the latest gossip about Jon and Kate, and pictures that make me laugh! The best part about it all is that it's all on the same page! :)

I will definitely check these feeds because I did it anyways, but I just went to each individual website, now I will just stay here! I can find all the information and valuable items that I want to, straight from my own blog!! :)

This is pretty much what I expected RSS to be like but only because I watched that video. I really had no idea what RSS was beforehand, which is strange for me because I'm usually "up with the times." I am glad I have learned about it, it seems like something I will really use daily!
