Facebook

Facebook gives people the power to share and makes the world more open and connected.Millions of people use Facebook everyday to keep up with friends, upload an unlimited number of photos, share links and videos, and learn more about the people they meet. Sharing on Facebook isn't just about family news or vacation pictures; it's also about your favorite stores and restaurants, helping you and your friends find great new choices and resources. It's also an important part of how a young business gets established.

I think Facebook compared to MySpace is more appropriate for people my age. Facebook is a good way to meet new people who live in your area. It is also a good way to keep up with friends and family.

Sound Recorder and Switch Audio File Conversion Software

Using Sound Recorder, you can record, mix, play, and edit sounds. You can also link or insert sounds into another document. You can modify an uncompressed sound file by:

  • Adding sounds to a file.
  • Deleting part of the sound file.
  • Changing the playback speed.
  • Changing the playback volume.
  • Changing the playback direction.
  • Changing or converting the sound file type.
  • Adding an echo.

With Switch you can convert your sound files into the formats you need to compress for storage, create ringtones, add to a presentation, listen on your portable device and much more. In fact, the possibilities are endless using this powerful audio converter.

I think this would be great way to do a PowerPoint presentation for someone who is uncomfortable speaking in public. It is a simple way to narrate your pictures or add music to the background of a video. Mixing music for for home videos is easy to do with this software.

Box.net used to post converted audio file

Founded in March 2005, Box.net is a leading provider of tools for managing and sharing data online. The service enables users to share, access, and collaborate on files of any type from anywhere.

Flickr

Flickr is an image and video hosting website and was one of the earliest Web 2.0 applications. In addition to being a popular Web site for users to share personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository. Its popularity has been fueled by its organization tools, which allow photos to be tagged and browsed.

I have used Flickr to send pictures to my friends and family. The instructions are simple and easy to understand. My son has started using Flickr to post pictures on his MySpace page.

Del.icio.us

del.icio.us is a social bookmarking website -- the primary use of del.icio.us is to store your bookmarks online, which allows you to access the same bookmarks from any computer and add bookmarks from anywhere, too. On del.icio.us, you can use tags to organize and remember your bookmarks, which is a much more flexible system than folders.

del.icio.us can be very beneficial for someone who uses more than one computer. It can be a very useful tool for people who surf the Web. del.icio.us is a more efficient way to keep things organized than using folders.
