Using Interactive Web Applications

I think interactive web applications are great to use. I myself have used a few such as facebook, Spanish to English translators, online thesaurus, and my new find, Sumo Paint. Facebook, to me, is only useful in keeping touch with family and friends whom you never see. Other than that, it's just too much. There are too many applications within facebook itself to make it fun for me and usable to everyone. All those games and little extras you can add to your page are just too time consuming.

The Spanish to English online translator is wonderful. I am on YouTube a lot and many of the people I communicate with on YouTube do not have English as a first language. There was one time in particular that a person was trying to tell me something but could not find the right words in English so she told me in Spanish. I don't know hardly any Spanish so the Spanish to English online translator really helped out. Plus, it was free! This application is perfect for someone who doesn't have time to learn another language but still wants to communicate with people who don't know English that well.

Sumo Paint is a new find for me. I was surfing the net looking for a unique web app for my class and I came across it. Sumo Paint is like the regular paint application that comes on most computers, except with a little spice. It has some interesting features and allows you to make many new shapes and designs. This app is perfect for the serious doodler.
