Net Library and Youtube

As you can see below I found a video clip on YouTube and posted it here. I have a password somewhere that is Catsglore, so I thought this one would be good. I also got by MP3 player and downloaded a book from Netlibrary. I still need to practice using the player so I know which button to push. I also set a radio station on the FM radio. I am beginning on podcasts now and with write about them next.

Web 2.0 awards

I have checked out Web 2.0 awards and winners. I found 3 site that I enjoyed more than others. I liked the "One Sentence" that told a story in on line and, "Pandora" which is a music site and "Etsy" which has art and jewelry which is quite lovely. I found it would take days if not weeks to explore all the sites to find others that are of interest. It was interesting to find that my favorite sites are also ones that have received a number of stars.

Google Labs

I went through these and I can see where some would be very useful and will probable make it to main Google site and other were specialized and might be used by a few. I like the Mars site, it was interesting. Some seem like an advanced or specialized search. I didn't have any problems using them, just trying to thing of something to search.

Google Docs

I have looked at Google Docs and now I'm ready to upload this to my blog. I also looked at all the other items under the headings. It seems like you could use this without having to subscribe to other services. I need to find out how to delete from my reader, I'm getting some things that don't interest me. But there are others that I don't have to search for them other ways.

Search Engines

These will let a person who doesn't have access to Word be able to create their own documents to do whatever. . . Some are better than other depending on what you want to accomplish. This way a person might not have to own or download Microsoft Word. For my heading I use Cooltext to generate it. Isn't this a cool way to make something different.

Library 2.0-4.0

I read all the articles posted and have mixed feelings about a complete "web world". I wouldn't like to curl up in bed with a computer I much prefer a good novel. I can see where putting reference materials on the web is good because things change so much and so fast. But, as we making some information inaccessable to some people who don't have a computer at home or don't have a home if it is not easily accessable in a library? Now they can come in a read the book to get there information. You can see that I have mixed feelings about all of this. I did like the article that said that Library 1.0-4.0 would all be incorporated into whatever we do.
