Thing 7b – Google Reader Redux
Written on December 7, 2008 – 2:38 pm | by phyfeworld
WOW!!! Certainly overwhelming is where I will begin. Truthfully I have not been in the habit of checking my google reader . . . so when I checked I had thousands of articles to read. I hope to get more Web 2.0 savy and this become more of a routine. I was relieved to read Jerri’s comment about blogging and that you don’t have to read all of them that come in but only what interests me.

One article I read from Tech Crucnch was on Testing ways to make search ads pop. Ads popping up on school computers is already a problem. We can’t promote a specific organization, however, now on Yahoo the ads and the company logo’s image will also display. The image (in my mind) is more alluring than the text that displays. It relates to people visually and stays with them.
I respecit google in the fact that they don’t allow this appear. It makes our jobs as educators a little easier.
