Drawing Tools

There are many cool tools that are available to use on the internet.  One of the cool tools include drawing tools!  Some drawing tools include FlamePaint http://www.escapemotions.com/experiments/flame/  and Slimber http://slimber.com! On FlamePaint, you can create drawings/paintings that look like flames!  It is cool to create different drawings with different colors and designs!  You can edit the focus of the cursor which makes it more or less spread out, and much more!  On Slimber, you can make any drawing you wish and record it from the website so other people can see a step by step way on how you drew you picture!

The pictures below are from FlamePaint.

Visitors to My Blog

While looking at my blog's visitors, I have noticed that although there are not as many visitors as the more popular blogs, there are visitors from different countries which is cool!  Having different visitors from all around the world is a good sign for my blog because it means that more and more people are going to view my blog if it becomes popular!  A lot of my blogs visitors are from my local area but I have had some viewers from Greece and Korea!


Avatars

Avatars are computer-made life forms that can represent anything you want them to!  You can make animals, monsters, strange looking people with some crazy features, or you can make an avatar to look like your self!  Some examples of avatar-makin websites include DoppelMe, Build Your Self Wild http://buildyourwildself.com, SP Studios, from the show South Park http://www.sp-studio.de, and many more!  Although these websites do not allow your avatar to speak, you can still personalize them by adding many different features, items, and backgrounds to your avatar.  Avatars are a great way to express yourself online!

Google Hangout

A Hangout is a form of online video chat that is offered by Google.  A video chat is a face-to-face chatroom that is available to use on Google and many other companies offer this as well.  The big difference with Google Hangout is that it allows up to nine people total on one chat room while other chat rooms such as Skype and Facetime allow only two total people in one room.  This is better because it allows you to talk to more than one of your friends at a time!  Another cool feature with Google Hangouts is that you can use sound effects and also add creativity by putting backgrounds and costumes that appear as if you are wearing them while you chat with other people.  Google Hangouts is a great way to be socially active with friends all around the world, and you don't even need to leave your house!

Google Products

There are many cool products that google offers to people to use.  Some of these products include drawing shapes and pictures on the computer, typing papers, making slide show presentations, and even exploring the world using Google maps or Google Earth.  Some cool features about the drawings and the tool that lets you type documents is that you can invite friends to type on the same document but from a different computer!  That is very useful when you and a partner have to work together on a project for work, school, or just want to have fun!  Some other Goole products include language translators, news sources, book/magazine stores, a social networking site, and many more!  Google is an all around great tool to use for either work or fun!
