The only utility and management tool that I really used for the Web was a browser and search engine. I did not think I needed anything else to navigate and find what I needed on the Web. In addition, like many folks that use the Windows OS, I used the default Internet Explorer as my browser.  


However, this complacent attitude changed when I subscribed to Netflix's streaming service.  Watching streaming content using IE was very frustrating. It continually glitched and had to rebuffer through out the movie. I thought the problem was with my Internet connection; however, Netflix support did not agree with this assessment. As it turned out my Internet access speed was appropriate for their streaming service and they suggested I try another browser. I downloaded Chrome and alas, movies without interruption.  

Fast forward....I am now beginning to appreciate and use Web 2.0 tools. I have broken out of just settling for what is the available default, and I am discovering that there is a better way to manage and complete tasks using a variety of Web 2.0 tools. So far my favorites have been Jing and Symbaloo although I enjoyed using GoAnimate to post a message on my Web 2.0 blog.  

Symbaloo School WebMix 

I am in the process of building out my Symbaloo WebMix; I added a Personal WebMix and will eventually add a Work WebMix. Since it it this class that introduced me to this, School is my first WebMix.
