Chapter 2 assessment

1. The author professes that with the downloadable FlickrDown, multiple photos are able to be downloaded at one time. Once one's username is entered and the thumbnails are loaded, one then proceeds to check the desired photos thus downloading photos in batches rather than individually.

2. Once a photograph is deleted from a card, thy aren't actually erased; the address to locate them are simply relocated. In order to recover treasured, deleted photographs one must use a photorecovery program such as MediaRecover.com or Photosrecovery.com .

3. The primary source that the author offers for uploading sound clips is the Freesound project. 3 samples i found on the website were a dog barking, lion roaring and a cat's hiss.

4. So far the number of books digitally converted by Project Gutenberg are over 100,000. The top five eBooks viewed from the website are The Outlines of Science, Manners Customs and Dress during the Middle Ages an During the Renaissansce period, Alice Adventures in Wonderland, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, and the Illustrated History Of Furniture.

5. Instead of Boolean operators, the author recommends other ways for getting better search results- Excluding words, searching within a site, using synonyms, searching for a title, searching for a url or searching for specific types of documents. The 3 most beneficial ways of narrowing down search results introduced to me were using quotations to search for a title, asterics as wildcardds and the minus sign to exclude words.

6. 3 extention websites that the author provides that interested me were Unlinker, Flickr Buddy and KeySharky.
