Tech-talk comments

• Muhanad’s presentation on del.icio.us: It was very informative, I stumbled upon “delicious” in the past, but did not really pay much interest to it, but the presentation made me interested in it.

• Nichel’s presentation on flickr: The ability to share pictures with friends, and family, that flicker offers is very convenient.

• Amy’s presentation on ebay: I never knew about the additional resources that ebay offers, it allows for much greater collaboration/communication than I thought.

• Anthony’s presentation on youtube: I guess youtube is one of those sites everyone of us visited at least once before, but never really thought about how much of a marketing resource it is.

• Johnny’s presentation on V.O.I.P.: The presentation was very informative, since I never really used the voip services in the past.

• Melissa’s presentation on gnu.org: I have used a lot of open source software/OS in the past, and I enjoyed the presentation a lot, since I do believe that open source is the way to go when it comes to being creative, as well as being able to contribute to the “evolution” of technology.
• Sarah’s presentation on watching TV on the web: It was very informative; I always enjoy learning new bits of tech info, especially when it comes to entertainment.

• Tiesha’s presentation on Music Media: I enjoyed it a lot, since to be honest I really got out of the loop when it comes to any music related technology. The CD/vinyl product was really an interesting “mash up” of the old and new.

• Anastasia’s presentation on Second Life: Finally one presentation relating to the gaming media , I never really plaid this game, although I read a bit of info about it. I enjoyed the info on how the game is being used not only for leisure, but also for collaboration, and commerce.

• Sutharshan’s presentation on HowStuffWorks: I used to visit similar sites, but never visited this one, very interesting content can be found on that site. Great resource for research, or just on ….how stuff works ;).

• Damon’s presentation on bittorrent: Torrent technology is an interesting one, even more so the use of it in commerce. It is a topic of much controversy.

• Vincent’s presentation on Wikipedia: Very informative presentation, the coding section will definitively be helpful in creating our Wiki.

• Sergey’s presentation on MapQuest: Very informative. I did not know that MapQuest had such advanced features. Its one of those technologies that can really help people not only when it comes to navigation.
