#21 Podcasts

I had only used ipod podcasts before this exercise and had never really thought about trying a different sort. I like podcast.net the most, it seemed that the search results were the most relevant, I found blackhillstv podcast, which is something that i had never found using apples podcast search.

Netlibrary

Netlibrary is a great idea, and I do hook up my computer to my sterio, but the fact that it doesn't support the type of MP3s files used by ipods (it takes wma files) is very inconviant. Maybe if/when it does I will use this tool more, my ipod was expensive enough without buying a different media device.

#19 Craigslist

This could be adictive, Though I was really supprised that in the house swap there were only 2 requests for Sturgis, you know considering how expensive it is to stay there, I would have swaped my house to get away from the rally with someone who wanted to be closer. I was disipointed to see that there appeared to be spam like postings though (same thing every day, like buy forclosed homes here)

Zoho Writer #18

Zoho: This seems like a great option if you are not sure what type of documents the person that you are sending to supports. The options are all similar to what you would have from microsoft word, and even the icons are identical so it is very easy to figure out. The Emoticons are a fun bonus


The post to blog option is also very easy, though I was sad to see that I had to come back and title it.

YouTube video #20

I chose this video because I have a Chihuahua, thought it was funny ( really love the jaws music, and it was a rather short clip. I noticed that longer clips can take to long to load. This search options were really easy to use, and i liked that i could browse catagories. I was also glad to see that they make it so easy to put videos onto your blog.

#17 PBwiki

http://plcmclearning.pbwiki.com/Favorite%20Vacation%20Spots

I added a blog about Sand Mountain Nevada ( I wish I could have figured out how to include a picture) so I will stick it here. The PBwiki is fun but this one had way to much to look at/read, that it is not very viewer friendly. A better organized wiki would be better, but I guess that is the major downfall of having something where everyone can add info however they want.

#16 Wiki

I saw two wikis in this activity that really seemed to fit, and take full advantage of wiki functions. The Library Success, Best Practices; is a great resource sharing idea for librarians, and the wiki format allows it to be added to without hassle, the wealth of information on this site just amazed me. I also like the book lovers wiki, it was basically a book review wiki, and I do believe we have something similar to it here; though i have yet to use it.

#15 To better bibliographic services

Web 2.0 gives librarians the opportunity and the inspiration to make our services more user friendly. Where other book resources such as Amazon and half.com let their users add comments and reviews to individual items, and services like delicious and library thing let there users tag not only their physical library but also the "library" of information available on the web. These are all technologies that could be Incorporated into the library database. It is no longer up to only the librarians to assign subjects to their materials, it is now possible for users to do so also.
