Week 9. Podcasts, Video & Downloads

#20 You too can YouTube

YouTube is lots of fun. This is the first time I have looked at Youtube and I had lots of fun searching for videos of my beloved Geelong Cats and library related stuff. You can see the results below in my blog.The site is very easy to use. It is amazing what you can find on this site and if you sort through the junk you can find a few gems.


#21 Podcasts.
Looked at all the podcast directories and found an amazing variety of podcast subjects that would suit the interests of a variety of people. Had trouble actually getting to hear some of the podcast chosen to look at - maybe I don't have the correct soft wear to deal with them.
Found some good Australian podcast directories. Try
http://www.podcastdirectory.com.au
http://www.thepodlounge.com.au
http://australianpodcasts.com.au
for podcasts with an Australian content. Radio National http://www.abc.net.au/rn/also has some great podcasts and is where I found the "Book Show"podcast I have placed in my web.

#22 Audio books
Had a good look around World EBookfair- http://worldebookfair.com/Mp3eBooks.htm Was amazed that so many books are available online for free. Found books available in print format, and in audio format. Some audio books are human read and others are read by computer with a computer generated voice - not nice to listen to.
