GETTING INTO PODCASTING WAS A LITTLE TO MUCH FOR ME. THIS WASN'T MY FAVORITE EXERCISE TO DO. HEY, BUT IT IS ALL ABOUT LEARNING NEW THINGS, RIGHT. ANYWAY I WENT INTO PODCASTALLEY.COM AND WENT INTO "COMMON SENSE WITH DAN" INTO THE POLITICAL FIELD. I WENT INTO SUCH EPISODES AS 'GREAT EXPECTATIONS,' NEW OLD POLITICS' 'BIDEN TIME' AND 'MCCAINS HAIL MARY' AND I FOUND ALL OF THOSE VERY INTERESTING. I HEARD ABOUT ALL HIS VIEWS AND HE MADE ALOT OF SENSE. I CAN SEE HOW CML CAN USE THIS TECHNOLOGY TO SHOW UPCOMING EVENTS SUCH AS THE NEXT SUMMER READING PROGRAM OR LOCAL STORYTIMES COMING UP FOR THE KIDS. PODCASTING IS ALL ABOUT LEARNING WHETER IT COMES TO VIEWS ON POLITICS OR PROMOTING IMPORTANT THINGS FOR OUR FUTURE.

I THINK THAT EXPLORING YOUTUBE WAS MY FAVORITE EXERCISE TO DO. I GOT TO EXPLORE MY FAVORITE SONG "VIVA LA VIDA" BY COLDPLAY. I ALSO WENT INTO THE SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE VIDEO FEATURING SARAH PALIN. I GOT TO SEE ONLY BITS OF PIECES OF WHEN IT WAS ON TV. THAT IS THE MAGIC OF YOUTUBE. IF YOU MISS IT, YOU CAN CATCH A PORTION OF IT HERE. WOW. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT EXPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO POLITICS. IMPORTANT BY LEARNING ANYTHING NEW OR SOMETHING YOU WANT TO RELIVE AGAIN. YOUTUBE IS SUCH A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND IS A GREAT TOOL FOR LIBRARY USERS TO HAVE. WE CAN LEARN SO MUCH FROM THIS GREAT TOOL ,THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR LIBRARIES TO USE THIS.

I THINK THAT THIS WAS MY FAVORITE ACTIVITY THAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR. MY FAVORITE ELEMENT IN THE TOOLBOX WAS "STUMBLE UPON." THIS WAS SO ENTERTAINING BECAUSE IT WAS BASED ON MY INTERESTS. I LOVED THE "ANIMALS TEACH US HOW TO BE PEOPLE" SECTION. I LOVED SEEING THE PICTURES OF PEOPLE THAT LOOK LIKE ANIMALS. I ALSO LIKE THE SECTION ON THE 10 SPECTACULAR AIRCRAFT PHOTOS, ESPECIALLY THE PHOTO WITH THE FLARES OVER THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. I HAVE A FEAR OF FLYING, BUT THESE PICTURES AMAZED ME I GUESS BECAUSE I'M NOT ON THE FLIGHT. I SPENT THE MOST TIME ON "STUMBLE UPON" AND I AM SO HAPPY I LEARNED ABOUT A NEW APPLICATION THAT I WILL BE USING IN THE FUTURE FOR AMUSEMENT AND FOR LEARNING NEW THINGS.

I WAS VERY INTERESTED IN THE REVOLUTION HEALTH SITE OFF THE AWARDS LIST. YOUR HOME FOR HEALTH AND BALANCE JUST CAUGHT MY EYE. THE FRONT PAGE HAD MANY INTERESTING HEADLINES TO ME. MY FAVORITE WAS THE REVOLUTION HEALTH FEATURES. SUCH AS TOP 5 FOODS THAT LOWER YOUR CHOLESTOROL, EXERCISE YOUR MIND W/ BRAIN GAMES, AND 7 BEST SUPPLEMENTS FOR WOMEN. HIGH CHOLESTOROL RUNS IN MY FAMILY SO I FOUND THIS SECTION VERY USEFUL. I ALSO LIKED READING ABOUT WHAT THE EXPERT DOCTORS HAD TO SAY ABOUT SAVING MONEY WHILE STAYING HEALTHY AND HOW TO MANAGE STRESS OVER THE ECONOMY. THE EXPERT DOCTORS SECTION WAS VERY INTERESTING. I THINK THAT THIS CAN BE A VERY USEFUL TOOL FOR LIBRARIANS TO SHARE WITH PATRONS, BECAUSE IT'S ALL ABOUT LEARNING AND THAT'S WHAT THIS TOOL DOES.

I THINK THAT GOOGLE DOCS IS JUST AN MORE ADVANCED WAY OF DOING MICROSOFT WORD. I THINK THAT THIS ONLINE APPLICATION CAN HELP YOUR DAY TO DAY WORK GO MORE SMOOTHLY AND ALOT FASTER TO SHARE YOUR IDEAS WITH OTHER PEOPLE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CLICK ON THE SHARE ICON. LIBRARIANS CAN BENEFIT FROM THESE TOOLS TO MAKE IT ALOT FASTER TO GET THEIR DAILY WORK DONE AND FOR OTHERS WHO COME FOR COMPUTER USAGE GET THEIR ACTIVITIES DONE QUICKER.
