Excercise 1. Using AllFreeClipArt it took me four clicks to get to a color Santa that did not look like a troll.

Excercise 2. I read 10 Places to Find Free Images Online. I checked out Flickr. I had joined Flickr in a previous iHCPL excercise. I like it because it is free. Great source to share photos with family and friends. I also liked fotogenika. Looks like fun but expensive. One can tour local areas, Houston by helicopter or Kemah all without leaving your own home.

Excercise 3. Next I am going to log into the HCPL clipart program and post a picture from there.

drum_roll-1.wav

fanfare.wav

I put these on my blog but had trouble making it work where the links actually worked. That is why my previous post was blank. When I clicked on the above link icon nothing happened. Hope I have sucess this time around.

# 75 Google and Beyond

Exercise One: I ended up with 2 Bings and 1 Google. I might try to explore Bing in the future.
Exercise Two: The week I searched on Hitwise Google was #1. It was almost 75% usage compared to Yahoo with 10% usage. The usage statistics match my own personal choice of a favorite because before this I strictly used Google as my search engine. I may try Bing now just to see if it is any good.
Exercise Three: Google has added ways to keep track of your personal life with various connections to other websites, calendars and for example our schedules.
