I haven't touched Photobucket in years! I remember when the coolest thing on forum boards was the ability to post offsite images and animated .gifs. I was so proud. Time went on and I used it less and less. I eventually started looking around for a photo album organizer for the images on my harddrive. One search later, I find Picasa. A Google product you say? Hmm... Fucking sold! Admittedly, I was much more excited back then. I'm still figuring the program out. Every time I start it up, I find a new feature. I really like how I sync albums online, and they appear in my smartphone automatically.
Although I don't use Picasa terribly often, I do still make great use of it. These days I mostly use Imgur almost exclusively.
I made this blog for my Web 2.0 class, but might adopt it later for further personal use and networking. If you like me or the things I do or think, follow along and subscribe for more.

Delicious.com? More like... Dry-and-stale.gross
I started using StumbleUpon YEARS ago, but haven't used it for about a year. I was actually kinda surprised to have it as a topic in class. I still have the little SU button on my browser, untouched for quite some time. So I opened it up the other day and it's just like I remember. They updated the graphical layout of the Chrome version of the toolbar and made some decent changes. Overall, it feels exactly like it used to and none of the appeal is gone. Remembering back a few weeks after I set my mom up with the StumbleUpon toolbar, she exclaimed to me that it was "fuckin' awesome" and "StumbleUpon is the shit."
Delicious though, I had only heard of and not actually used. My first thoughts upon finding out what it does were to the effect of, "This was probably great a few years ago, but this is pretty useless now.." and "WHY??" I put aside my biases to give it a try and see what it's all about, and imported my Chrome bookmarks, well, tried to at least. I selected the .html file and uploaded it, and was told "This may take awhile. You will receive an email when it finishes." I thought to myself(and whined aloud to my wife..) "It's an .html file.. It's literally just TEXT. It should take seconds at most.." Here we are almost a week later, no email, nothing has been imported, and Delicious and proved itself to be completely useless to me.
YOU DID IT! GREAT JOB!
