Thing 23 - the end.
Just added 2 podcast sites to the Blogline. It took a while to find some that actually had RSS feeds but with help, I added them. Apparently just because something is labelled a podcast, it doesn't necessarily have an RSS feed. So much to not understand.

Have been looking at Youtube & it's entertaining. Not sure what use it would be in libraries unless you find an informational or educational piece pertaining to some project. The cart drill teams are a hoot.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmyDWEnT-eI. If this "copy/paste" worked, you can see the Dewey Decimators performing.

I looked at Last.fm & Pandora. They were fairly easy to use & had a lot of information. It didn't seem like they always listed a complete list of an artist's recordings but it's still useful. We have some patrons that frequently are looking for specific song titles. These sites would work well for their questions.
Evidently linking my GoogleDoc form to this posting didn't work but I did fill out a template on GoogleDocs. They certainly have a variety of useful templates.

Just did the PBwiki #18. Fun to read the comments & learn about new restaurants. Wikis seem to work well for group effort activities.

Thing #17-- wikis seem to have lots of potential. Whether you can trust the info on them is debatable but that's true of many sites. The direct route of communication between participants would be an advantage.
