Podcast

I looked at all 3 podcast directories. It is interesting to use the same term and get different results. I found a nice Irish flute podcast but it did have a RSS feed, so I used the website of the flutist. I searched for another podcast and found NPR Topics: books page which as an RSS feed which I added to my Bloglines.

Podcast give us another opportunity for sharing information. For some people it may be the best way to learn. I think it would be great to have a welcome message from Marcy on our website and other podcast teaching and explaining how to find information.

YouTube

I enjoyed looking at the videos. Once again I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of them. One could spend many hours viewing them; every subject one can image is there. Some of the videos are very good and some look like they were created with a cheap camera phone. The keyword searching feature is interesting. I found people purposefully miss tagging their work. Shhheeeesh!

YouTube gives libraries another venue for marketing. There are some library infomercials already there along with some great video clips.

Trading card maker

I played with the Trading card maker. I made a trading card for myself and saved it. I can see this being used for library programs. It would be a good ice breaker opening if the leader had cards for everyone and they traded them to get to know each other. I think school kids would love this one.

Flickr tags

Tagging, like cataloging is important when you have a large group of things books, photos or other items. It allows users (and owners) to find what they need without browsing and getting lucky. For a site as large as Flickr, tags are essential.
