Thing 14

1. The University of Minnesota Assignment Calculator seems better for me.
It has what I need, and I don't need email reminders. The tool seems very helpful.

2. They can both remind me what I still have to do and the ideal times to have them done by, so I can have an idea of how my schedule should look.

3. The tools would probably work for personal and professional use for projects. It's over all use as a project time line layout would still be helpful.

Thing 13 (Other half)

4. The to-do lists were helpful, I always need to-do lists to help me keep track of stuff.

5. Looked at backpack but didn't try it out. Sounds odd.

6. Tried Mystickies. Nothing I'd recommend.

Thing 13

1. MyYahoo. It appealed to me because it sounded like something that'd be familiar. No, I will not make it my permanent homepage.

2. Mystickies, could help me keep track of things. I'd maybe recommend it.

3. Online calendars can be useful to me because they can help me plan out my schedule.

Thing 12

1. It seems very helpful if you have a lot of different sites you want to keep track of and organized. A very helpful tool.

2. It does seem like it could also be a useful tool for research. The material being researched could be split up into different categories, making it easier to remember where the information came from.

3. No. I can not think of any other useful applications for tagging and Del.icio.us in my personal or professional life that have not been covered already.

Thing 11

1. Professional use: creating a slideshow for work. Personal use: making a slideshow for fun.

2. No, it was not easy to navigate, and only slightly better to understand.

3. No, I would not recamend it to others.

4. I really don't use anything that shares photos or documents, unless facebook counts.

Thing 10

1. For both self-promotion or professionally, one could use the tools to make things like business cards. For an assignment, one could use the tools to make nice graphics in general, depending on the assignment.

2. Sharing Photos online seems like a good idea. It makes it easier to show people photos you want to show them. As long as people don't steal them and claim them as their own, there doesn't seem like there's much problem with them

Thing 9

1. I myself wouldn't use Flickr, period. But for school, one could use Flickr to store their photos on it. Personal life, one might just use it to display their photos and images for fun. And for a profession, one might use it to help advertise for something by having certain images posted.

2. I don't use Flickr or other hosting services, so there's nothing to compare Flickr to.

3. I'd be fine with having my photos public because I wouldn't post anything I didn't want to. My only concern would be if someone somehow stole my images.
