Week 16 is all about Online image generators, tools & widgets and I have spent some time on Sclipo, but am a little frustrated by the lack of quality in the entries. It seems anyone can set up as an authority and there is not as much material as I had hoped for an academic community. There were 5 courses for engineering and 2 for biology, none of which were inspiring. I have signed up – maybe I can add some content in my spare time!
Like Catherine, I have had trouble with yahoo pipes. I have checked out some great ideas, but not been able to run my own. One that I found OK was http://pipes.yahoo.com/brian/GLEvgE153BGfQ1cmEpPZnA (Add Images to any RSS Feed).
I was far more interested on this topic in Survey Monkey, which I have used before and have recommended to others in the Library (and which was subequently used in a staff survey).
I also want to explore more on Bubbl.us I signed up and played around with making visual representations and interconnections with the projects and people I am working with. It was helpful and I will use it again.

While Web 2.0 tools can be great, there is that issue of the authority or quality of what you find.
Yahoo Pipes can be a pain, but the concept is good.
I'm glad you like bubbl.us. Thought you would.
