Youtube videos

Youtube is a bit addictive especially for funny stuff, the Catherine Tate clip is a classic, Daniel Craig is ...well what can I say?

Podcasting

this has always intimidated me but again it's not as difficult as I imagined, my new subs are..."Buffy between the lines" ...sounds good...."a serialized, podcast fanfic audio drama written, produced and created by fans for fans. Each season will bring you 12 (or so) episodes in classic radio drama fashion.", "Double feature" a weird sort of film reviewing type podcast and "Much ado about books" radio interviews with authors. If santa brings me an IPOD i am going to be busy.

goodreads.com

I also liked this site, especially the lists...like "books I regret reading"

Library Thing

my widget worked {finally..thanks to Theary} there's a small group of some of my favourite books although I must say I felt some self imposed pressure not to include some of my less intellectual favourites {romances by Amanda Quick and Loretta Chase and cosy crime} LibraryThing is a lot of fun and chock-a-block full of stuff... i can see myself using it unlike some of the other things I've joined during this program........
i'm realising that as I suspected i'm a book-tragic and i'm not witty enough to twitter or organised enough to read all my bloglines stuff...but at least now I know about all these things.

"productivity"

Eventbrite has been remarkably trouble free in use at the libraries considering it is quite a change from people ringing up or racing in frantically to get tickets for the school holiday programs. It's definitely an improvement. Zamzar looks good with very simple, clear instructions and I can imagine suggesting this to library users who need such a service. Googledocs is innovative and practical, excellent for group work as students often study off campus and may live in different states to others in their study groups. igoogle is useful too with lots of relevant info on one page as soon as you sit down. So....all this stuff is handy, useful, practical blah, blah blah but things looked a bit more exciting when I realised the Web 2.0 awards had a retail category, ahhhhhh shopping spent too much time looking at the tshirts on Threadless.com i really want one of those ones that says books are good for you maybe that could be our uniform however they are out of stock and the only way they will do a new "print run" is if they get enough people emailing them to register their interest...so take a look and if you like it let them know...i wasn't so fussed by Lulu, I know of a number of book sites I would much rather visit.
