Gadgets

Blogger has created some gadgets that help improve your blog's efficiency.

For example I used the google translate drop-down bar so if you are from a different country, you can go to the drop-down bar to translate my whole page into your language so you can read what I'm saying, very useful for people all around the world that can't read english.

I also added this, pointless but fun, game called fish where you can click your mouse to feed the fish in the tank on the screen as the fish follows your cursor as if they are following their food.  It's time consuming but if you have some down time and have no idea what to do then this is the game for you.

Symbaloo

Symbaloo is a social bookmarking site that can be used to share websites you may find useful, or helpful depending on the category.  Symbaloo is a great way to bookmark your favorite websites without having to use the same computer all the time, or the sites only being on that computer.  Symbaloo lets you share your bookmarks with your friends and family. You can create your own web mix bookmarks and use the web mixes it has you start out with, like you can create a web mix that goes to your most favorite website and if you click on it, it'll take you straight to it.

Voki

Voki is a website that creates a talking avatar you can use for your blogs.  Its a fun web site that can give you various avatars to choose from and use, you can use an avatar that looks nothing like you, or you can make it look like you.  You could use a computer's voice that's already installed, or you could call voki and leave a message, then they will use your voice as the avatar's voice message. You could change everything on the voki, the clothes, eyes, face,hair, ect.  Use the Vokis that do not have the banner, only in voki class room, so it will pop up on your blog.

My favorite web sites

My most visited web site will have to be Facebook, talking to long distance friends or playing Facebook games, if I'm on the computer most of the time I'm on mobile.

My second favorite website will have to be youtube, which I mainly use for music or funny videos, youtube is a great way to view videos that are either helpful to help you do something or just want to have a good laugh at something, or maybe you want to listen to a song you don't have on your iPod, or any other music device.
