Got an email update from Spongecell. Since this is a blog begun to learn Web 2.0 tools, I thought I'd see what new stuff is out there. I chose a link to an article titled " What Are the Limits to the Social Web?" Aside from the fact that it talks about grammar for no apparent reason (which, ironically, this article needs help with), I did learn something new. (Since anyone with an Internet connection can publish anything they want (after all, that's what Web 2.0 is all about, isn't it?), poor grammar is obviously something I need to get over.)
“Ditto is a platform for fans to create and browse definitive entertainment lists for the purposes of discovery and debate.” Or, they say: “Ditto aims to do for opinion what Wikipedia did for facts.”
So, I went to ditto.com and searched (the Web tab) for Spanish lessons. In the first ten hits Ditto listed, there were two that had anything to do with Spanish, unless there's a new way to learn Spanish by watching skateboard videos.
Okay, let's try one that looks relevant. From the list of hits ("Sponsored Results") Ditto returned, I chose "Search Spanish Lessons & More." The link listed was ewoss.info. It linked me to baptistbaptisms.com. (Looks like a list of links to places used to research geneaology.)
Hmmm, that's a weird one. Let's try another hit in the Ditto results list. It listed articlezone.net as the link. Linked to Megasearch.biz and yet another list of Sponsored Results. This list actually had the word "Spanish" in the titles.
The social networking article also talked about Scour "a new search engine that promises to let users search socially." For some reason, I've written a diatribe, so I'll save Scour for another day when I have more time.
