GO2WEB20

Here are my two favorite apps on GO2WEB20.

Picktastic is a fun way to challenge your friends to see how well they know their sports. Members of the site pick which professional and college teams will win for upcoming games, and guess how many points will be scored based on their accuracy. These points are used to help boost their rankings against their friends and other Pickrs. Points can also be wagered against opposing Pickrs prior to the start of another game.

 Ballhyp is a sports news center that can keep you updated by pulling in content from thousands of sports blogs. If other writers are linking to a story, it gets surfaced to the top of the list as newsworthy. If enough Ballhype users hype it up, the story will make it to the home page. You can also write your own post or submit a story that you think should be read. You can also write your own post or submit a story that you think should be read.

Make Your Own Word Search

Extensions

Also using Mozilla, Extensions is an easy way to add things to your search bar like for example, there is a piano extension, where you follow the instructions it says under the picture, then you click "tools" and then click "play your piano". I think it is cool because you can just use the piano by using your number keys, and nothing even appears on the screen. This is another fun, easy way to personalize your firefox browser.

Themes

Themes on firefox are a fun, easy way to customize your home page/search bar.  Using Mozilla Add Ons, you click on themes, and then you can click a category you are interested in or you can search for whatever you want to find in the search bar.  You can search for anything from cartoons, to sports.  Here are some results that showed up when i searched "Jordan", and you can also see what i have set on my home page. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to personalize their firefox.

Gickr

Today I explored a fun, easy to use app called Gickr.  In Gickr  you can upload up to ten photos and create a slideshow that continuously plays over and over again. To operate Gickr you just have to click "upload file" and choose whatever photos you want to be on your slideshow.
