Zoho seems to be the most full featured of the web apps sites. I see they now have a database.

P2P lending

Kiva - Loans that change lives

This is a way for ordinary people to make small loans to small business entrepreneurs in the US and in other countries. I like the concept of individuals being able to lend to other individuals, bypassing the big business financial predators.

another web application…

Filed under: computeristics, notes — Tags: , — dionysius @ 6:49 pm

I went to Barnes and Noble today and browsed around the books and magazines. I was reading some computer magazine and found and article about web applications. Buzzword was mentioned and I had not encountered that one before. So, when I got back home, I opened an account. It’s different from some other web apps that I have used; has a very vista like appearance, also saves to and opens from your hard drive. I don’t think you can use it to post directly to a blog; would be a nice feature to have. I am writing this on Buzzword but will cut and paste to post to my blog.

Today was a busy day, but I really did not make a lot of progress ! I went to get my blood drawn for labs, so that wasted about 2 hours. At work I did a lot of loose ends stuff but did not get a lot done otherwise. I gave some stuff to Heather to do, so that will help me some. There was lot’s of ice out today, hoping tomorrow will be nicer. Mike and Piglette came down for the weekend; they all went out shopping ! I told Sweetous and Pig to be careful in the stores ! LOL,  I always get uneasy when the women go to stores. So, now I’m just taking it easy listening to music and prowling the web…

Here is a nicely organized health & medical information site: OrganizedWisdom Health - Human Powered Health Search.

Cloudo - The Computer Evolved - this looks interesting, but doesn’t seem to be working yet; appears to be some sort of web desktop and applications set-up; sort of like think free or zoho perhaps ? It’s getting to be that you really don’t need to buy software for your computer because there is so much available via the web….

Should students use Wikipedia? « Eric Jennings

Should students use Wikipedia? « Eric Jennings

Wikipedia is one of my favorite websites.  Of course it should not be used as a sole source of information; use it as one source of many, or as starting point for further research. This caveat applies to the web in general; there are goldmines of good information out there and there are also all sorts of bogus or trashy sites. Always use multiple sources for information and when making an important decision: consult with other people directly by talking to them and asking questions !

web3.0

Filed under: Software, computeristics, internet, miscellania, technology — Tags: , , — dionysius @ 2:42 pm

In my web surfing today I did a search on Google for “virtual worlds” and while looking at some of the items listed I came across the term “web3.0″ Curious how that differs from web2.0. I shall have to investigate later. Here are some links to get started…

Be Careful when Citing Wikipedia « faithmaps blog

If you read or browse my blog, you will see that I am a big fan of the Wikipedia. You can also see from the above blog post that you must use discernment and good judgment when using  the Wikipedia or any other resource, especially on the web. A good rule to follow is don’t rely on a single source of information, especially when making an important decision.
