THING 17

SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES
FACEBOOK & MY SPACE:I have always wanted to join facebook and finally got the time to do it through this exercise. It is a good tool for long distance communication to friends and families overseas.
There are lots of advantages to using these social networking sites, publishing your photos & favourite YOUTUBE clip, finding friends from your high school years and more.
The disadvantages of social networking through Facebook and My space is the privacy of informations and family photos stored on your blog.
Facebook and myspace do have an option bar, whether you want your photos or information to be seen by friends only.
I am not a big fan of BEBO, but it does contain all the funky images that can be use to bimp up your Bebo Pages.

PODCAST

I found a few interesting things, like how to plan a podcast blog. This would be ideal for setting up genealogy for family, documenting and recording something of an interest to family land and history of family trees.
I would like to use this sometime soon to record information from my grandmother about my family history and family land entitlement in Mangaia (Cook Island).

ZOHO WRITER

I have signed up for the Zoho writer doc, well well...I thought this word processor doc only exist in google word doc.
What a fantastic tool, this is much better than the google word processor doc it contains lot more features.

Experimenting inserting pictures into Zoho presentation this is cool. I had a quick browse and created a quick powerpoint will look at expanding this some other time.

On the Island of Mangaia, you have a beach on one side, in the centre are villages which surrounds the whole Island and on the other side you have what is called "Inland".

Mangaia Airport

Mangaia Airport
Easier way to get to mangaia is by Air Rarotonga, not Air New Zealand the plane won't fit on the airport. Don't forget, before the plane lands you may need to say a little prayer because the airport runway is made of gravel, don't blame this on my grandfather at the time he was building this airport with the help of some village people and the entire Mangaia high school we didn't have the machinery in those days. Hey...seriously their has been no OSH issue report or plane crashing.

The red soil reveals the ancient volcanic orgins of Mangaia. This type of soil is excellent for growing the sweeters pineapple. The pine forest was planted about 20 years ago.
