Finished! (I think)

Well, if I am correct in guessing that there are no links for the final two posts, then I am all done! Yay! It was a fun road, but I can't say that I really learned anything mindblowingly new. However, as I am a very tech-savvy teenager, this didn't really surprise me. I did enjoy helping out the others that were struggling though. Thank you for the program, it was very enjoyable!

Overdrive

Well... I like audiobooks... but most of these are too... classic for me. Things like this, I probably won't spend the time downloading because I am more interested in newer books, that's just me. Anyway, if there was a site that had downloads for new books, I would like that much more.

Podcasting

So, I already knew what podcasts were, but I don't use them much, because I can read the same information (generally), and I can read faster, so I just look up the info myself. However, my dad uses some of these during football season for our fantasy football league, and in these are found opinions that you can't really find written anywhere, so they are useful for that. However, I went to podcast.com and typed in "Nintendo" as I am a huge video game fan. I found a podcast completely dedicated to the wii, and subsequently attempted to figure out how to subscribe to its RSS. I couldn't find it. I could subscribe with an account that I made, but I couldn't figure out how to do it with bloglines. Anyway, it had some neat stuff on it, but I had already heard most or all of it, so I don't think it will be something that I will use all the time.
Edit: Darn it, I forgot to look for Library podcasts. Oh well. I did it now, and I only found a couple, but they were relatively new.

Youtube

I love youtube. I always have, and I always will. There are so many hilarious, ridiculous, stupid people that I will never get tired of watching. For example: Miss Teen South Carolina.
Sad, but hysterical. Also, this is one of my favorite videos, because I love Saturday Night Live, but it wasn't on youtube, so I found it through the google video search.
Classic. Anyway, youtube is great, the only issue with it in my opinion is that sometimes there will be videos on the sidebars that you might not really want to see, or comments that you don't want to see. Video hosting doesn't really seem to fit with libraries, but they could in some tutorial sense, as in helping people that couldn't figure things out with step-by-step videos.

Web 2.0 Sites

I like all of the widget sites, because I like widgets. There are a couple really fun ones, like the radio and the snowglobe on Yourminis. Anyway, yeah, these are fun, but there aren't a lot that are useful, most are just silly or fun. Or both. I could see myself using these for a little while for a time, but eventually stopping, because I would be done with them. It's hard to see these really being useful for a library, but if someone came out with a Useful-for-a-library widget, well then maybe.

Web-Based Productivity Applications

WOW! I like these. I have to say, I never knew these existed, and they rock. This is an amazing tool for schools, because at our school, flash drives are blocked by our systems admin, because people were bringing games on them (who would do that ;P) This has caused lots of problems, because we need to use them with our senior projects on them. However, with this, we wouldn't need them at all. I am totally weirded out that I never knew about these sooner, and I am telling everyone at school about them on Monday. Oh, as far as a document for everyone to see, I am not going to publish one, however I DID get a shoutbox working off of zoho on the left of my blog where people can chat with each other. If you want, you can see my exhilirating chat with myself. Anyway, long story short, I like this.

Wikis

I personally already loved wikis before this lesson. I use wikipedia on school reports all the time, whether they like it or not (they have an issue with the "anyone can edit" thing about it), and tons of wikis are made on homebrew apps and video games for my consoles all the time. That said, I can't really think of something that this feature would work well for libraries... Anything that the library needs to post shouldn't really need to be edited by the people all the time...the only thing this would benefit would be if the library wants to create a hub for something it didn't know much about. I don't know. I do know that I love wikis.
