Task # 4

I have always thought Twitter not to be very usefull and just another tool to keep track of.  But I realized after working with it, and following interesting people on it, it could be very useful.....to a point.
Again, social networking, do we really need it?  I have facebook and do not feel I need Twitter, but to be able to follow Peter Mansbridge and a few other people without posting on it myself I can see it as being an ok tool to work with.

Task # 3

This was trickier because I had a hard time finding "add a bookmark", but I finally figured it out.
I bookmarked the following:

  • dn.se (Swedish newspaper)
  • cbc.ca
  • recept.nu (all the delicious tv shows I am watching while in Sweden has a combined recipe site)
I tagged my bookmarks ( and this is where I was a bit confused and I only learned by doing) with recipes, news newspaper, Swedish etc.

I also highlighted something from cbc.ca news regarding the heatwave you are having.  SOooooooo happy I am here with 20-25C weather all the time. ...and no humidity.

Yes, I would like to use this site.  Never heard of it before so thank you for introducing it to us.
Skål! and have a happy weekend.

Task # 2

Youtube experience.
I have always liked youtube and find it a fascinating site.
Streaming has become popular because of fame and fortune.  Knowing you can post something on Youtube and the world can see it is pretty incredible.  Also very frightening!  It is can also be used for educational purposes and you can find instructions for everyday things.
Yes I will continue to use Youtube.

Here is my URL for a funny Youtube video; "The Duck Song"

Task # 1

Not sure if the first blog worked so let's do this again.
I am now following Betty Blogger from Sweden, and hopefully my mother's computer will cooperate.
On a scale from 1-10 what is my current knowledge.....well I will put myself as a 7, but after taking this course I might realize that I was not so high.  We have to wait and see.  I did customize my blog and I did import a picture of me and my daughter.
Hope you like it Betty!!!
Sincerely from Sweden!
