Entry 1

I have been using WebCT for 2.5 years and the software is OK. I wouldn't say that the user interface is great but for the most part it is easy to use. I like the navigation, for instance the tabs are useful, and it is nice that you can communicate with your teacher. I do wish that there was support for connecting with facebook. Also, it is annoying that there is no print friendly option. Talking about social networking I messed around with twitter. I still don't understand why I'd want to post every update about my life but I could see how twitter could be useful to keep people up to date about a company. For instance you could tweet new product launches, news updates, and link to notable stories online. For my game I downloaded something called down hill bowling. The game takes a twist on knocking down pins by adding a course that you have to navigate. You tilt the iTouch or iPhone to steer and you can choose either timed mode or points. If you choose time mode you have to knock down at least one pin from every set, otherwise you fail. You can also get items such as bombs and hover. I found an app for mac called Plex, that basically turns your Mac into a media connected center. You can tap into iTunes, iPhoto, access hundred of internet channels, and tap into the file structure on your mac, so you can choose how to organize your media. Also it taps internet database sites so you can get info about the content. The major problem with this is that you have to do more work. It's nice to be able to be in control of your file structure but this also takes work and Front Row already comes on your Mac and if you already use iTunes to organize your media then you don't need to create a new file structure. I think this app caters to a niche that doesn't like Apple deciding for them how to organize their media, but I think Apple does a good job, so this App creates more complication then I like. But it's still pretty good if you don't like Front Row. I downloaded another app for the iPhone that is similar to Tetris but is not quite the same. For instance there is no falling blocks and no leveling up. That last part makes the game get boring, since the only challenge is to complete the same level in fewer moves. The game is called flood because the object is to flood the floor with the same color blocks. I would say this game is a dead because it is too simple and get boring rather quickly.
