I like this site a lot: Know LA. It’s an online encyclopedia about Louisiana. It has video and sound and plenty of images
to enhance your reading experience. The
articles are locked down, unlike Wikipedia, and you can trust more the stuff
you read. They include a
comment option. You can share information
to them and maybe they’ll look at the facts you give them and
adjust their entry. It’s a nice feature
for them to have.
I spend more time reading blogs, sites and viewing stuff on
YouTube. The Google products I use
are Blogger, Reader and YouTube. I was
searching Google Plus and “circling” people but that got old quick. I’m just not a social network type. I’m glad I met some of the people there and
will stay in touch, but I’m not searching the site anymore. I prefer searching for stuff on Google and
through blogs and websites. I don’t have
a lot of Internet time and I want to spend that little time reading Louisiana stuff and
learning some French. At the rate I’m
going I’ll be able to have my first conversation, all en français, with the
cute nurses in the nursing home. It’ll
make me beaucoup happy to be able to do that. The cute catins I’ll
be rambling to, however, probably won’t understand what the Hell I’m saying, even though the nursing home would be in Mamou or Ville Platte. I'll end up talking in English again and wishing I had learned Spanish. There'll be Spanish speakers, but French speakers? Unless...
