#23 Final Comments

Well I've made the journey, but it will continue as I explore more, when time permits. Some of the discoveries I have already started to use regularly. It has been an interesting journey and it was a shame I could not spend more time exploring however it has given me a insight of a whole new world on the internet that I did not know was there and so much is free.

#22 Audio Books

Love this. I had fun looking at the tumble books as well as listening to some of the audio selections available via Gutenberg's audio books. I'm not sure yet when I will use these but it sure was fun.

#21 Podcast

Went to do the blog line and was shown a plumber as blog lines is down. Are well I'll try and get back to it another time. I'd found some interesting pod casts on how to quilt which I was hoping to add an RSS field to my Blog lines. Pod casts are interesting, I'm hearing about them on the news with the elections and the ministers putting pod casts on utub. I love the how to craft pod casts it is great when I'm trying to learn a new skill, one on one teaching of sorts.

#20 Youtube

This is more interesting than free to air television. I could spend hours watching the shorts, some are really very cleaver, but as has been said there is a lot of sorting throuh the rubbish. I will be spending some more time at this site in the future. Enjoyed looking at the suggested sites. I searched for craft sites e.g. quilting, and it was great to see how others quilt, I also enjoyed the siamese cat sites, I could have fun with with teasing my cats and watching them searching for the new cat.

#19 Web 2.0 onwards

I had a look at the books category and had a play with www.biblio.com . This was an interesting sight to see what was included in the different categories. I loved the rare books and browse options I could spend hours looking at these sights and end up spending a fortune. This is a site for the private collector or someone in the book buying/searching business rather than librarians.

#18 online productivity

I love the free access to these. It is great that there are not multiple copies of the same document saved. In my previous job I could have made great use of this, when designing a document it makes it easy for everyone to be working from the same edition. It should eliminate the risk of an older edition being issued as the final. This could be a project managers dream.

#17 PLaying around with PBWiki

mmm... this gives a new meaning to sandbox (I'm the owner of two cats!!!). I wonder what they would say if I told them I had been playing around in the sandbox. Well i managed to add my blog to the Favorite Blogs page, that was easy.
