Bit of Twit

Decided to use my Twitter account; for no other reason than it might attract some more clients my way. The attempts to form my own business have been less than successful and things are looking a little bleak at the moment. Not sure that this Twitter thing will do much, but I suppose I do have to try. My account is http://twitter.com/wanderjahre everyone is welcome, not just webheads, so maybe see you there!

Mashups

This is an interesting little Web 2.0 application that I got the heads up from a friend in London. Wordle is an application that allows you to create Word Clouds, pictures from a group of words. Just insert some text and watch Wordle do its thing. To make this slide show I started in Wordle and having created each picture took a screen shot of the finished item, once I had done all that, it was time for phase 2 of the project. Animoto is an online slide show application. You can upload a series of images and Animoto will turn them into a slide show. Because its classic Web 2.0 you can export the finished product to a variety of different social networks and blogs. In this case, I copied the embed code to this blog. The result a simple but effective online slide show with animation and music to suit. Result is a professional looking slide show that required me only to know how to upload some pictures...
