Graphic Layouts

Another website that allows you to use and display graphic layouts is bebo, this is a social networking site that has millions of users.  It allows the user to display their information in the order that they like.  However because this is a social networking site the college has blocked it therefore i can not get a screen shot. 

The BBC website allows the user to use and display graphic layouts.  It allows you to drag part of the website to a anywhere that you want that box to be displayed.  This website is eye catching and full of information that the user may find interesting.  

Text Formatting

Another site that allows the user to edit text is livejournal.com.  Live Journal allows the user to sign up and create their own journal, connect with friends and express theirselves. It also has links to music, news and technology. 

Blogger - This website allows you to format text in any way you like.  You can do this the simple way or by editing the html. It has many formatting features, bold, italic, font styles, font size and so on.  It also allows you to upload images and videos to your blog.  

Video Sharing

Yahoo Video is similar to youtube, it allows the user to watch and upload videos of your choice.  It also allows you to have playlists of your choice and allows you to make your own account and interact with other users.  

Youtube allows users to upload and watch videos of their choice.  They can also download the videos to their social networking sites such as bebo.  Youtube has a variety of different videos such as music videos, parts of films and also people messing about in their own time.  You can become a member to youtube by signing up so you have your own account.

Search Engines

A search engine is a program on the internet that allows the user to search for a particular topic.  This allows the user to receive information about that topic.  They also have other features such as images, if you are looking for a picture on a certain topic you simply click on the images hyperlink. 

Another search engine based on the internet is ask.com Ask Jeeves has the same features as Google but also allows the user to ask questions and the website answers them to the best they can. 

Google is a well known search engine.
