Rollyo and Online Image Generators

This is probably my last post, unless I come across any other 2.0 tools that I think that I should share.

I am struggling with the whole Rollyo concept. It seems like an extension of delicious, where you can keep all the internet sites that you want to go back to. But in this case you roll all the related sites up into a search engine and it will search all those sites for you (once you have something to search on). What happens if a new trusted site is added to the Web and you miss searching it because you do not go to the Web any more because you have all the sites that you call reliable in one place?

When I created a searchroll, it had suggested sites that you could include the first being Wikipedia - I would not call this site reliable or trusted!

Since I was not understanding Rollyo (even though I read the 'about Rollyo' and checked out the Buzz) I thought that I would move on to online image generators, hoping they would bring some fun back into play week.

I went in through the Yarra Plenty Library - 23 Things program and looked at The Generator Blog (I could not get Letter James to work) and FD Toys. I created my own 3D cover , but could not manage to get it on to my blog, only the link. More practice required!
This stuff seemed fairly pointless, with six assignments hanging over my head, but did not require any understanding to be able to do it.

Have a look at these and tell me what you think:
