Q
1. If you have not yet clicked the Menu button do so now. What is a “Flake”? What types of flakes can you add?
2. What is a pagecast? View some pagecasts created by others.
3. How could we use a pagecast in the context of our project this term?


A
1. "Flakes" are small, movable versions of all your web favourites that you can arrange on your personal homepage. Types of "Flakes" you can add are:

• Applications & Tools


• News & Blogs (RRS)


• Audio (Podcasts)


• Photos


• Videos

2. "Pagecasts" are pages which users share with other users. There are two types of Pagecasts: Group Pagecasts are pages that are shared between friends or the members of a group and that can be viewed by invited members only. Public Pagecasts are pages which users have published to the entire world.

3. This term we could use a pagecast as part of our project to present our project on-we can have different pages with different multimedia files such as video, text, pictures, and sound files.
