Found an email asking for some help with a website from Charlie, He has had the rather good idea of coming up with a website to recommend Web 2.0 applications and I am of course pleased to help. Finished that by last in the day, clearly I have not lost the capacity to work, I'll upload the website to some spare web space and let Charlie had the good news tomorrow. For now I think I'll get some rest, this chest cold is not pleasant...

Later: Uploaded and started on all the little tweaks and improvements it will need. CM tells me that this is not a project for his company, but something he is keen on himself and apparently so since he is willing to pay for it..

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...
