Tagging with Del.icio.us

I love this new tool! I am always bookmarking sites and suggesting to others to bookmark sites. Not only is it easier to remember your favorite sites I think it cuts down on getting hooked into a phishing site!
Now with Del.icio.us I can better organize my huge collection. Once the collection gets big it is very hard to quickly find what you are looking for. Great tool someone who had lots and lots of bookmarks must have developed.

My YouTube choice

I finally arrived at this book list given to Rudy Giuliani by Ron Paul. I wanted something book related and what better than what our presidential candidates should all be reading!

It took me some time to find an appropriate video clip. I would have to say the number one popular form of YouTubes are comedy. Closely followed by inappropriate for library material. Or both, funny and indecent.

Podcasting

I listened to the presentation on SirsiDynix about podcasting. I learned alot. Especially cleared up my confusion about exactly what a podcast was. I was not successful with my first two tries at listening to a podcast. My first choice timed out on the download. My second choice which was from a library in Lansing turned out to be two text items. I was finally successful with WordNerds, their discussion for the day was on Rhetoric. I found it to be very interesting and would have listened to the whole thing, but we got busy here at the library. Next is to learn how podcasting could help the library and how to create a podcast.

Library Thing

O.K., I was very skeptical about this. Why would I want to do this? Then I went on the site. I think this could be fun. Not so much to catalog my own books which I have not done yet, but to see what other people are reading and why! I can see how this would be helpful for librarians.
It would be absoulutely wonderful for someone with a large personal library!
