Last.fm seems pretty cool. I enjoyed the artist radio portion. Curious to see what Pandora is about.

Scott Granneman's Classes : Metro-Sexual

Fri, 4 Dec 2009 03:07:57 +0000

Boy this was eye opening. With all the news about Iran, this is inconceivable that first, they have access to cellphones; and second, they are used for sexting as well. The part in the article where an individual was warned by the Iranian government not to participate in disobedience toward the government was funny. But sexting, with videos, that's interesting. To think they are a backward people with hardly any necessities, needing Americas assistance, is backward thinking. These people are socially networking.

I agree with BMay, the less blog the better. So far my favorite among those list is last.fm. I like that its a 2.0 veteran and more socially slanted. It's tagging abilities sounds appealing as well. Being able to share with friends is another feature that last.fm offers that drew me.

Unable to view this particular one but have viewed others. I enjoy YouTube because you can share it with others.

This was easy step by step instructions to follow. Very basic. My kinda of article.

Scott Granneman's Classes : Newbie's Guide to Flickr

Fri, 4 Dec 2009 01:57:54 +0000

Just learning to master Flickr's basics: uploading, organizing, and sharing. It's new to me but fairly easy after reading this article. It's free too! Wow, that works for me.

Scott Granneman's Classes : Flickr of idea on a gaming project led to photo website

Fri, 4 Dec 2009 01:31:03 +0000

Good article on the history of Flickr. I like that they tried online gaming, went straight to photosharing, and never looked back. Turns out to be a profitable move. I need to explore Flickr. Sounds like a cool tool!

Scott Granneman's Classes : Who Has The Most Photos Of Them All? Hint: It Is Not Facebook

Fri, 4 Dec 2009 01:22:29 +0000

Excellent article on photosharing sites and their numbers. I, too, had not heard of Imageshack, but of course, Facebook and Picasa. Hope to start adding my photos soon, just too busy right now. I now have a choice of which site I'll use.

Based on earlier comments, it's better to have read before trying out Second Life. So here goes...

Scott Granneman's Classes : What are the lessons of MMORPGs today?

Tue, 1 Dec 2009 04:56:18 +0000

This list wreaks of negativity towards/in gaming. What happen to the "fun"? Did the light go out in the process of designing or are these true colors? Just notice this was 2006...hopefully there's been a turnaround.

Scott Granneman's Classes : Why More Men in Tights Won the Whole Donut

#6 Bite size chunks appears helpful in limiting game levels to 30 minutes. This allows you time to play during your lunch hour...that's funny! While I'm just becoming familiar with the virtual world gaming, this time restraint sounds appealing.

Scott Granneman's Classes : Virtual Dopers Crave High Scores

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 14:13:29 +0000

Virtual drugs in online games...unbelievable! What happen to a Tale in the Desert just being a society building game? I disagree with the creator using drugs to introduce an element of danger. Am I nuts or is the world gone crazy? This does not sound like a fun game after all. Earlier I commented that "Tale in the Desert" sounded interesting, and it may be. But, personally, I'll pass .

Scott Granneman's Classes : Endgame

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 13:46:36 +0000

What an interesting spin on this game. I don't see it as the creator/designer shirking his responsibilities in allowing the players to create the "next" game after reaching the highest level. I did get that right, didn't I? I say it a brilliant move.

Scott Granneman's Classes : A Tale in the Desert

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 13:39:10 +0000

This game appears appealing. With no violence or warfare, I could stand to play this one. I also like that you have a mentor and later become one yourself. Could this online game incorporate the beginnings of civilization or the real world? I need to check this one out!

Scott Granneman's Classes : Chasing the dream

Tue, 3 Nov 2009 12:57:22 +0000

Personally, I'm glad to see the "Hillary Clintons" fighting for regulations on some of these games. Just because it's labeled a game doesn't make it a "free for all." Why would a game include hidden sex scenes? I suppose my definition of game is outdated. I think this industry has become too violent and explicit.

Scott Granneman's Classes : Welcome to the New Dollhouse

Mon, 2 Nov 2009 17:08:22 +0000

This sounds like the most "normal" game I've heard of since we've studied games . I too loved playing with dolls as a child. But I agree with RebeccaLight pushing a button ain't the same as actually having the doll in your possession. There is a disconnect somewhere.I think perhaps we give these "games" too much credit.

What is that THING in the last pic...how gross! This is a whole new world for me. This is freaking crazy how these online games are such a big phenomenal. I know this may sound crazy but are all of these this violent?
