Wow! Podcasting is great for people who learn best by listening. I think podcasting is also great for people who are blind and can't read. I now have to download some software so that I can create a podcast.
Podcasting is where people speak their thoughts instead of typing out words. These Podcasts are then uploaded to a website. There is an audacity tutorial that I can follow in creating a podcast.
I already have a digital recorder that allows me to upload audio to my computer. I am just not sure where I place the audio file in my computer folder. It's a work in progress.

This post relates to Library 2.0 - It's many things to many people. What does it mean to me? Library 2.0 means that libraries will remain relevant and responsive to the needs of the community.
Technology will help libraries recognize their potential. Riemer mentions in "To better bibliographic services" that the managment of metadata plays an important role in relevance ranking.
In reading "Into a new world of librarianship" by Stephens I think about the people who use MySpace. These library patrons are copy and pasting HTML code to create their websites. I think library workers should have some idea of how HTML code works to keep up.
In short, Library 2.0 means keeping current with existing technology to help library customers.

I explored the technorati website and I think I created a tag on my blog.

I explored the Delicious site options and tried clicking on a bookmark that has also been bookmarked by a lot of other users. It's a good idea that other people can help me narrow down and located a good website to use. I can see the comments they added and the tags that they used to categorize.
My computer is getting full with all the bookmarks that I have added with the "add to favorites" button. In the past, I would use magazines like Consumer Reports and PC World to suggest some reputable websites that I can visit.
It is good to know social bookmarking is avaible as a resource that can help me find great websites. Tagging also helps you keep track of your favorite websites. I am just surprised that tagging in the website just involved pointing and clicking. I didn't have to worry about the HTML code.

I explored Rollyo and I created an account for myself. I created a search roll for business reference.
I can see a potential use for tools like this. Rollyo can make my web search more targeted. The only weakness I see is how does Rollyo create a search in a database like Edgar or the SEC database. Are there any other limitations to Rollyo? I think some other search engines like Google and metacrawler are hard to beat. I mean why try to re-invent the wheel if there already exist superior search engines.
Check out the Rollyo Searchbox and see if it works. This search box would help people researching a company before they go for that all too important interview. I could tell about a time I had two interviews and I didn't prepare beforehand. It helps to be prepared.

I think I remember why I originally skipped the Goodreads website. This website asks for your e-mail and then it asks for your password so that it can search your e-mail list of friends.
The basic concept is like having an online community for sharing ideas from reading books. But, the website wanted my password to my e-mail account. I created an acount with Goodreads, but I didn't give my e-mail password. I eventually chose five books.
The books I chose are The Turkish Lover, The Drama of a Gifted Child, The Inheritance of Loss, Solo Training 2: Martial Arts ..., Fighting Power: How to Develop Explosive Punches.
I find someone on Goodreads that is also reading The Inheritance of Loss. The other person online is also reading The Almost Moon by Sebold.

What do I think about "2.0" so far? I feel like my eyes are justing opening and discovering the endless possibilites that are available with "2.0." I finally find useful websites that I can use with images and animation with Flickr.
How will mobile devices figure into the info landscape? People are using mobile cell phones and texting messages. I would rather not carry a mobile device because I don't like talking or texting while I am driving. Yet, people do that everyday. I think I will write to my Council rep about passing a city ordinance to ban DWT (Driving While Texting on your phone while driving).
Does ethnicity play a role in which technology is used to access net resources? I like to think that once companies mass produce computers or electronic products, people from all strata of society will have access to net resources. I sincerely believe that libraries are helping to close the digital divide by offering computers to people with different social backgrounds. I remain optimistic about the access to net resources.

Flickr mashups are tools you can use with pictures and animation. I liked the application called Animoto. I could see someone running for political office and using Animoto to create a professional and low-cost video to raise awareness about their candidacy for political office.
The other tool is called Montager. It intrigues me because someone can use this to create a photo album of family pictures. I wonder if you can burn images from Montager on a DVD and have some music in the background.

My favorite discoveries on this learning journey were using Youtube and PB wiki. I really liked looking at the music videos on Youtube. I also enjoyed the fact that PB wiki let people collaborate and create a published work. PB wiki could be used in a team environment working on a group project at school or at work. One of the difficult things at school is getting everybody together in a group meeting and guess what everybody has a different schedule. PB wiki can help in this instance.
Tthis program has assisted my lifelong learning goals in discovering that I now have a new set of learning tools that I can use. Perhaps employers can post training videos on how to use Millineum or some other new emerging technology on Youtube.
Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised me? I was surprised that I could post Youtube videos in my blog postings. Now, I am wondering if there are other videos like how-to repair cars.
And last but not least…
If another discovery program like this was offered in the future, I would choose to participate. I felt that I gained a new set of skills. In the past, I used to think that looking at content on the internet was a waste of time. I felt overloaded with a slew of data on the internet. But, this discovery program showed me which websites could help me get audiobooks, music videos, and podcasts.
I don't feel lost in an abundant sea of websites that lead to nowhere. I now have to bookmark and create accounts at these new websites that I discovered.

I watched both the tours of Netlibrary and Overdrive Media. I liked the guided video tour of the Netlibrary. I was surprised to learn that the Netlibrary has an online dictionary that pronounces words for the reader. I think this is great for people learning new vocabulary.
I was surprised to learn that audio for learning to speak foreign languages were also available on the Overdrive Media.
I haven't tried to download from the Overdrive Media yet, but I will in the near feature. There is one thing I don't like about the Netlibrary. I have dial-up internet service at home and the Netlibrary content is very slow to download on my home computer.

The websites for the Web 2.0 Awards was great. If you want, check the website out by clicking http://www.seomoz.org/web2.0 I looked at the category called video. I really liked Youtube. I searched for Sabado Gigante with the Chacal. Basically, the show is liked the Gong Show where contestants sing until they are kicked out by the "Chacal." The audio was fine, but the video stream needed improvement. The video looked grainy and it was a little slow in downloading. I probably new the Super Duper Quadruple internet package to get better video quality.
What were the site’s useful features? The Web 2.0 Awards listed many resources that people could use. For example, it listed the http://www.cocktailbuilder.com/ This website dealt with creating mixed drinks. The concept is a good one, but the web design didn't agree with me. I would like to see more tropical drinks with fruits and liquor.
Could you see any applications for its use in a library setting? In a library setting, Youtube could be used to highlight the many services and products that a library has to offer. For example, video stream could show how people can place library holds on the book called Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. Youtube video stream could be used to publicize a grand opening or a renovation of a library branch. In addition to using local media outlets, a library district could create its own in-house video media.

I think it is great to use the Google Docs. Also, I didn't have to download any software to use these online apps. The only thing that concerned me is that I had to use the company Google's software.
Let me see if I have this correct. Google is going to let me use their Google Docs for free and without any strings attached. I always worry when people offer free stuff on the computer. Automatically, I am thinking when are the computer cookies going to be implanted in my computer. Whenever I do an engine search from home, the previous searches are stored in my computer.
I don't like for my searches to be stored if I didn't bookmark them. This is one of the major reasons why I don't download the free Google Pack of software. I don't like Google indexing my stuff on my computer. I would rather pay for Microsoft software and be left alone and having my privacy respected. Don't you agree?

I looked at the PB wiki video. I think that it is fantastice to see the many features I could use with the PB wiki. The point and click feature is better and easier than using the HTML code. I think the PB wiki editing and creating feature was very user-friendly. I am just wondering how to upload my video into the PB wiki.

What did I find interesting about wikis? I liked that different people can contribute and author information on the internet. The websites I explored didn't mention have information is validated or screened as it is published on a wiki. In other words, how can you determine that a wiki has the correct information posted. Is there a panel of editors that screen the info on a wiki? I don't think so.
What types of applications within libraries might work well with a wiki? I looked at a website called Librarianchick's resources. I thought it had some great information from different subject areas (i.e. practice test exams and lists of audiobooks). Although this website seemed way too cluttered, it did offer impressive references that a librarian could use. Maybe the first page could summarize the contents using six or seven categories.
I think it would be great to create a wiki that dealt with business reference resources. It would be cool to see a wiki dedicated to graduate business majors. It could be a friendship bridge for students pursuing their MBAs.

What do you like about RSS and newsreaders? I think that RSS are similar to signing up for e-mail alerts that companies send you periodically. Most of the content I see on the internet leaves me feeling with a sense of information overload. I really don't like to subscribe to newsreaders because I feel that I delete more stuff than I really need.
How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your work or personal life? I would like to use this technology to keep current on what is happening in my community in San Antonio, TX. I think it would be cool if the City Council used RSS to keep me informed of what city ordinances were being newly created in my City district.
How can libraries use RSS or take advantage of this new technology? Libraries can use this technology to keep their library patrons involved in discovering what events were happening at the local library. In addition, library staff could use newsreaders to keep abreast of the latest trends in developing technologies related to archival techniques or emerging technologies.

I think mobile technology will play a huge role in the community. For example, the library in our community offers audio books that people can download and enjoy. At the moment, I think the community will gradually learn what is available then take advantage of this wonderful resource.
The price of MP3 players will have to drop in price further. How do I know? I really don't know because this is just pure conjecture on my part. In my opinion, I would rather carry a light MP3 player instead of a bulky 367 page book. But the price would have to drop further before I get an MP3 player.
Also, I visited the website of YOUTUBE and I thought it was great. I really liked watching the videos on how to adminster subcutaneous and IM injections. This would be a great resource for nursing students. YOUTUBE also had a great video on preparing an IV injection site and it showed how to hang an IV solution bag.
