Delicious etc.

My delicious is delicious. Rushed it but i did it.

Podcasts

Now this I really like and find extremely useful. Imagine missing a radi interview or something similar and having the opportunity to download the podcast and hear it, even while on the move on your MP3. Fantastic!
This concept could easily work for the library. Think of all the things you could podcast or vodcast for t he public to access.

Slamming the Boards

I can just imagine the comments and reviews if my library decided to do this.
When do people actually find the time to check all the sites out. I can think of nothing worse than chaining myself to the computer in my spare time.
I must, however, be a dying breed as it is taking off all over the world.
Nice to see librarians getting it right with the answers.

You Tube and Google video

Very very disappointed with week 6 as I couldn't view anything at work. I,t's next to impossible at home, although I should probably ask my teenages to I understand the concept and would probably find it fascinating.

The mind boggles when I think of what is on You Tube and Google Video. If and when I did access it I would probably become addicted to viewing videos of interest.

Wikipedias

Wikipedias.
Great word, great concept, very interesting.
My daughter tells me that her school doesn't allow students to use wikis for their assignments as the info is not always correct. That may be true but everything I've read so far on wikis seems ok.
I've come across wikis quite alot when I'm searching google for customers but I never knew they could be used in such a variety of ways. Very interesting.

RSS FEEDS

I've just finished with RSS Feeds. Do I understand them? In theory I do. Will I use them often? Only when I've figured out exactly what to do. I think I need alot more practice before I can say I have truly figured it out.
Would I use them everyday? Yes, in the areas that interest me. Feeds like news, cooking, travel etc. It's always nice to know the latest.
Would I use it in my work? I'm not too sure at this stage.

Flickr image

I searched and searched for an image to add to my blog. I thought this was quite apt.

Why am I doing this?

I'm pretty sure that by the time I finish this course there will another beginning with newer technology, but what the heck, I've got to start somewhere.



I've been hearing about blogs , RSS feeds, podcasting etc for quite a while, so it will be nice to know what everyone's talking about.



By the end of this course I expect to be an expert so watch out?
