Quest 5....Let's Play

I know it isn't mandatory to blog for this quest, but I figured, "Why not?"

I've heard of 4 of the sites listed but before today had only visited 2 of them.

Pandora: Kevin introduced me to this sight a while back. I really like the concept. You tell the site what kind of music/artists you like and then it uses your preferences to select other music for the station you've created. I was just listening to Bananarama "Cruel Summer" on my 80's station I created.

Trip advisor: My sisters and I used this site when finding a hotel in Asheville for our recent trip to Biltmore. It's nice because it has reviews from people who have stayed there before. You do have to take the reviews with a grain of salt because everyone perceives things differently. You can also post candid pic's from your trip to give others an idea of what the hotel really looks like.

Simpsonize Me: This site was promoted by Myspace. I never really gave it much thought but figured I would try it. Since I don't have random shots of me lying around I used one of my son. I must say it didn't look much like him at all. If I find myself with a lack of things to do I may play around with it some more.

Craigs List: I've heard Peter talking about this site many times. He listed his condo on there and had several responses. I think he even rented it to one of the people. This seems to be one of those sites that you would need to have a need for before you used it. Kind of like Trip Advisor.

I have never heard/encountered the others but had fun playing with the sites.

Big Huge Labs Trading Card Maker: Perfect for the proud Parent or Pet owner. If it weren't for the fact that I already buy playing cards of Aiden when he has his sports pics taken, I may have used this. But I may use it for my cats!

Image Chef: Is a great site. Even if you have no graphic arts background, it's so simple it walks you through it. I've already created a graphic for my Myspace page.

Palmetto Biz Buzz: This could end up being a helpful site. I like how it automatically gives you a map to the location.

That's where I stand so far on Quest 5. Thanks for Playing!
