Stumbleupon

Stumbleupon(www.stumbleupon.com) is a website that lets users find websites according to what they like. This could be incorporated into a Microsoft office document and a business setting.  It can help find websites that would be beneficial to a company or business. It could be used in  power point presentations as a link to find website that would interest the user.  Overall, I like this tool and will be using it a lot.

Delicious

Delicious(www.delicious.com) is a website that let its users bookmark and retrieve their bookmarks from any computer. Delicious could be incorporated into a business setting and in a Microsoft office document to get to websites faster. This could help marketing companies  find what sites are popular. As a student I could use this for websites I always go on such as eagleapps, soar, blackboard, etc.  Personally the website is neat but I don't think it would be something I would use right now.

Zamzar

Zamzar(zamzar.com) is a website that allow the user to download videos from the internet to personal computers for easy access.  This can be incorporated into a Microsoft office document to show videos during a power point instead of including a hyperlink like I am use to doing.  Businesses will use this in many ways to download videos also for easy access.  Overall, I like this tool and will be using it again in the future.

Zillow

Zillow(zillow.com) is a website that allow the user to search for an address and find facts about that address. Zillow is a tool I found to be very interesting.  I was amazed at all the information it gave me about my neighborhood.This website can be used in a business setting to search for new areas to build a business.  It will give the entrepreneurs facts about the neighborhood before settling.  This can be incorporated into a Microsoft office document such as power point.  Overall, I like this tool and it provides more information than other search engines.

Poll Everywhere

Polleverywhere(www.polleverywhere.com) is a tool that allows its user to take a live survey and receive instant results.  There are so many ways this could be used in a business setting or Microsoft office document.  For example, people can use this free polling to get suggestions or ideas when presenting a topic.  Overall, I think this is my favorite assignment.  It was so cool using this tool. I am going to incorporate this in my power points to come.

Slideshare

Slideshare(www.slideshare.net) is a tool that allow the user to share power point slides with others.  Slideshare can be incorporated into a Microsoft office document and in a business setting because it allows the user to access their power points from any location.  For instance, a lot of people save their Power Point on usb drives.  This tool gives the user  a back up plan in case they have forgot or lost their jump drive.  I think this tool is great.

Tag Galaxy

Tag Galaxy(www.taggalaxy.de) is a website that let the user search images by tags and get 3D results. This unique style of viewing pictures can be incorporated into a business setting and a presentation when doing a collage.  Overall I think this tool is okay because it is easy to use ,but it really didn't have too many things to offer in my opinion.

ChaCha

ChaCha(www.chacha.com) is a tool to use find quick and easy answers. This tool can be used in a Microsoft office document or business setting to incorporate an interactive learning experience such as quizzes and games.  I think the answers are reliable but you have to ask questions in simple form to get the answers you expect.  Overall I like this tool because it is free because other similar websites charge for their services.
