Meaning of name blog

My name means Sword in Celtic, which is pretty freaking awesome. Other languages don't quite give a good rep, but let's just ignore that...

Voki/Richard Shermans issue blog

Voki was pretty cool to use, the vocals are good quality and fun. As for the Richard Shermans issue, I believe it was a publicity stunt. There is no such thing as bad publicity, he's almost acting like Miley Cyrus. It's not a bad technique, regardless of if he is liked or not.

Photofunia/Big Huge Labs

I was surprised by the quality in Photofunia. Of course all of its features are easy to do in Photoshop, but for an automated program it's pretty nice. Same deal with Big Huge Labs. Provides a nice alternative to people without the software or skills for the manipulation.

Taxedo/Wordle Blog

I really enjoyed using Taxedo, it is pretty cool to be able to buy your own creation on shirts and mugs. Wordle was okay, I just did not really see the value in it. Maybe to inspire a logo, not to create anything though.

Blog about Prezi

Prezi is a very nice alternative to Power Point. The ability to create group projects is also invaluable. I will probably use this in the future.

Storybird Link

Storybird was very silly. Clearly not meant for anything but entertaining small children for a couple minutes.

CoolText Pic and Blog

Cooltext is alright for those who do not have/use Photoshop, but the things that can be done in this program are very easy to do in Photoshop. It's almost just a very limited part of Photoshop itself, I wonder if the person who created this used some of its code.
