What do you mean there's no Web 2.0 App for zombies?

It's true, kiddies. Sad, but true!

I searched *many* different ways, searching, hoping against hope that I would find just one Web 2.0 App about zombies. Or plagues. Or some other apocalypse-awareness help site. Why isn't there a ZombieSpace? Or a WikiPlaguia? Or YouApocalypse, which would feature videos of apocalyptic signs people have seen (like Tom Cruise being normal, or Dunkin' Donuts ceasing production of their best donut)?

I'm very disappointed.

How are we expected to prepare for these things when the tools aren't readily available? Were I more of a tech-nut, I would work on creating something. But, alas... I can barely create a PBWiki let alone my own WikiPlaguia! But it would be oh-so helpful...

I did find this, however, when I searched Digg for "apocalypse." Rock On!

So, even jaded as I now am about Web 2.0 Apps and the severly lacking apocalyptic content therein, I searched for my next favorite thing: writing. I found Writely.com, which seemed awesome till I clicked and realized Google must've bought them out since it just directs me to the Google log-in screen. D'oh! Still cool, just Google-ized now. I went to my next choice, Writetomyblog.com and found a word processor, online, that will post to any blog site. Seems cool. I will need to investigate further of course, on my own time. It would RULE if I was able to use that to write blogs so I could save them in the (not so rare) times the blog does not post but just magically disappears instead. It's SO FUN when that happens and I lose all of my work! Yay!

I signed up for basically every site mentioned on this week's course, which is hilarious since I already have more sites to keep track of than I could ever hope to manage. Poor Shelfari! I haven't visited my shelf in weeks! Despite that, I couldn't resist signing up for Dogster, Traineo (omg, helpful!), and YouPlay. I didn't sign up for Blufr, but I emailed myself the link to check it out later. And why do we need sites for alcohol lovers? Don't they do enough talking about their favorite vices when they're imbibing them? I mean, really!

Great course this week! I learned a lot about the HUGE HOLE in the 'net when it comes to zombie and apocalyptic awareness/preparedness. I also (re)learned that you can find pretty much anything else on the internet if you search hard enough.
