I thought I wrote my blog on this. I just found out that I didn't.
Follow the above link and enjoy the funny annimal vedio.
Now, let me see how I can sell this to my agency! Ya! This can be certainly used to share an event or a presentation online to those who couldn't make it to the event. For ex. we do an annual event called 'Directions Day" and invitation will be sent out to approximately 700+ people. It's a whole day event and will be on a working day. Not many can be afford to be at the event the whole day. In such case, if we video tape it and using youtube we can post the day events. Link can be emailed and people can watch the events on their own time. They can even select the events that they are interested in.
Even the staff training module can be created in video and link can be sent to the staff to take the course at their convenient. Cost saving tenique. HR orientation to the new staffs can also be on the youtube..

Zoho
Nice word processor. However, I am a microsoft person and I like MS word. For the organization, I like to recommend the softwares that are reputable ones. Being said that, I have to admit that ZOHO writer is really a userfriendly. Icons are easy to understand, they can be plugged in easily without spending time on looking for the features that are available.
Note: I tried to create a blog from there and connect this url to post the blog. It didn't work. If anyone has tried and got it right, please let me know.

Wiki
This is the best one out of the ones I learned so far. I used wikipedia so many times but I never know that is simply a collection of people ideas/thoughts, but no guarantee that those ones are credible facts. So..be it. One can add,delete - edit .. freedom to write. This is where the head- ache comes.
How this is useful to our org..we have lot of subjects and topics that we can swap ideas and information on the projects. Ex. one of our org. current hot topics is 'Poverty reduction strategy'. Wiki can be created for this topic and start poring the ideas starting from what's poverty, how do you define 'poverty', poverty line.. can go on and on.
I find this tool as a useful tool for sure. As this tool is free, open to everyone with abudant access, we have to recognize that there is a high risk of vandalism..However, I read that there are software available where you can customize the page with limited access..

Assignment 7
I had a chance to read 'Assessing new online tools' & What does Web 2.0 mean for your non profit organization while I skim through the other articles.
I really like the ones that I read. The first one nicely listed out the various options open to NFP organizations and the second one that I read gives examples of how this tool can be used as a marketing tool to raise funds or even to gain the memberships. Excellent articles.
Well, to me, web 2.o is a great tool kit with amazing tools. Especially, blogs and RSS feeds are my favourite ones. They are interactive but inexpesive! I am not a fan of facebook though.
For our organization, I would vote for blogs and RSS feeds provided we have resources dedicated for constant updates.

Delicious-Tags
I sat down to do some research on the web about 'socio-economic well-being'. After spending a few minutes, I thought 'why not creating a book mark'. I created my account in 'delicious' and here you go!After creating the tag, I checked and noted that 9 others have created tags on the same topic and a couple linked the same site that I was in.
Check this out!!

Technorati!! I couldn't take the tour. For some reason, vedio didn't work. I am going to give it a try later this week.
I think, delicous comes handy in storing, book marking and retreiving the urls easily. When we search for some informaiton online, we go to many sites and get lost. Hard to remember where we went. Using this tool, we can store and retreive whenever we need to go back to the site. By taging, we can search for the information easily.

My Face Book
It took me a while to create face book and post the photos. I tried to upload the vedio but, I couldn't. I gave up.
It's a great way to share the images. First of all it's free and gives access to somany; interactive. To some extent, you can handle the access control issues. However, you got to watch for the hackers which may create some greives.
