21 Podcasts, Smodcasts!

I began by shuffling around www.podcastalley.com as got nowhere on the links for the other 2 directories, but there is no shortage of them on the net. I added one to my bloglines from their latest addition called "letters vs numbers" new and classic songs. Moved onto the ultimate in boredom which was the "Great book audio-a chapter a day". I am not overly excited by podcasts as I find I am too easily distracted from audio without an accompnying visual effect. I suppose they could be used in libraries to provide something instructional to the customer. Bombard their eardrums until they give in and join in the activity or club oreganised to meet on a particular day. But, make sure whoever does the talking passes the no mumble/squeaky voice test.

20 You too can YouTube

Found on You Tube and earlier on the Today Show

Possibly not OH&S compliant but, what a saving for libraries. No more expensive trolleys just employ staff with flat heads and super strong necks. You Tube has stuff on just about anything. Found a some live footage of Neil Young singing "Heart of Gold" from 1971.

Enjoy some music from the decade that was music.

19 Discovering Web 2.0 tools

I started with travel in the hope that Farecast was going to provide a a cheap ticket to Cairns. The best it could do was $574 so i will try again another day.
next was Fun stuff and One Sentance failed to provide any interesting sentances but Comiq could be a bit of fun if you ever feel creative enough to make a comic strip. Understandable that tools such as Google Docs, Flickr, Del.icio.us rate so highly. I finished with a look at Lulu as it was number one. It was frustratingly slow and didn't have any Australian sports artwork but seemed to have a great range of information and tools for assisting those able to put a manuscript together and actually want to market it. Also, interesting top one hundred titles number one this week is "A collective history of Linthicum Heights".
