Week 8 - Mashups

http://rollyo.com/dashboard.html

This is the link to my Rollyo dashboard. I created my own Dressage search engine. I tried it out with the word "half-pass". This was the advanced and optional part of exercise 2 in Week 8.

Honestly, I thought exercise 2 and the privacy writings was more difficult. I really didn't want to read too many of them. I chose two - one by the Shifted Librarian and one by the Librarian in Black. Shifty made me aware that I may be the insane one because I haven't accepted the fact that my private life is really public and that resistance is futile... LIB gave me an article on 6 tips to protect my search history privacy on the web - the six went from easy to ridiculously difficult IMHO. I can't switch IP addresses at work, and I don't know how to do it at home, neither do I want to learn... And using some software program like TOR? Okay, I give up, privacy is an illusion, and I will just continue bumbling around looking at horse sites and buying household goods from Amazon. Now you know all about my sordid online adventures...

Seriously, thank you to all the MLA instructors for broadening my Web 2.0 horizons - I never would have stretched so far on my own. Have a great summer!
