Thing 12: Rollyo

(Call me weird but I like just trying to say "rollyo". It allows me to channel the gansta rapper from within.)

Ok- so I made a roll- in an effort to aggregate some travel websites. The result....I didn't quite "get it". I saw that you can enter up to 25 sites, and so I tried to enter as many as I could. The result was...a bit overwhelming. I went back to the drawing board- to the directions of this exercise- and tried one of the examples. I tried the free image search- which only included 3 websites. This took me back to my prior job as a Library Assistant at an art college- where I would get reference questions such as "can you show me a picture of a diseased eye?"

The upshot- I like the idea of the potential of this tool better than the reality. Maybe I'm not quite understanding its power completely...
