Zamzar Revisited

Nope I didn't suddenly realise that I was made to blog but I thought before I abandoned blogging I should share the first question I got asked relevant to the web 2.0…..Strangely enough it was to do with Zamzar (Who saw this coming I was almost sure it would be Facebook ^_^ )

I had a customer ask me to help her convert an Open Office file (a free downloadable alternative to Microsoft Office) to a .doc so she could make changes before printing. The customer suggested the Zamzar website and was quite willing to pay for email to retrieve the document.

After several attempts to upload files onto Zamzar I stumbled onto http://www.freefileconvert.com/. Not only did it work faster but you don’t need email to download the converted file.

I don’t know what to write my final post, although that’s mainly my fault because I am doing the final post a week later instead of immediately after finishing.

So here goes

The Good

This web 2.0 was blissfully short….thanks for that ^_^

I found the instructions easy to follow and it was well organised (Thanks, made life very much easier)

The lessons were varied and definitely included things that I wouldn’t have done if I hadn’t been forced to for example Twitter (Is that a good thing thou?)

I know at least 2 people read my posts which was nice even if they were both from Manukau Libraries and sorta had to (my blogging was not in vain)….Thanks Tosca and Zoe

The Bad

I only have 2 followers in a library filled with staff (How sad is that???)

Some of tasks I felt weren’t as relevant for example I have never been asked about Twitter (nope not once but hey it could happen)

It was annoyingly hard for me to find the Manukau Libraries web 2.0 blog address

And The Ugly

Nothing that bad really….no really ^_^

And my 2 cents I am really glad that I didn’t drag out this lot of tasks for web 2.0 learning (made me whinge a whole bunch less) and it would be really useful to look at online sharing websites.

Okay will see everyone in blogging world next time I am forced to ^_^

Bye
