Here's some of the features that I liked about it:
- There's a 3 minute video demo you can watch.
- Once you download the app, there's a tutorial you can follow, explaining how to use the app.
- You can categorize, link, and tag what you learn by topic.
- You can sign in using Twitter or Facebook. This helps me not have to remember yet another username and password.
- You can control your posts if you want to make them public, share them with contacts only, or keep it private for yourself.
- You can rate your post 1-4 stars, depending on how you judge its importance to you.
- Others can comment on your posts, as you can comment on theirs, which enables sharing of information and possibly expanding one's knowledge.
Here's some of the features that I didn't like about it:
- I can't turn off the tutorial and it's slightly annoying every time I start the app.
- Either the entire app has only approximately 10 users, or I haven't figured out how to see a public display of everyone's posts.
- It wouldn't let me sign in with Twitter, so it left me no choice but to sign in with Facebook. Not a terrible thing...but dislike nonetheless.
- I don't fully grasp how this tool can help me expand my knowledge....I'm hoping it's because I'm still disconnected from others.
I like the concept of being connected to others with the same learning topics....but since I can't seem to use it effectively....I'm not sure if I fully like it yet.
Does anyone have a Tappestry account?
