PODS now available

I successfully added "Uncontrolled vocabulary" to the RSS feeds on this blog. It was interesting to retrace the steps from Semester I week 3 and to be once again confused by the relationship between bloglines and blogger (and google reader for that matter). [So many similar, fuzzy concepts; so little time. For early onset baby boomers it's like keeping the Gabor sisters straight.] Yet, "uncontrolled vocabulary" is right there on the RSS side of this blogger.com blog; and it works. Though the sound was poor on on podcast; I need earphones I think. The topics, of course, are germain to the field. The number of PODcasts overwhelming.

PODcasts are ubiquitous; our libary used MP3 files to make a 4 session lecture series available to the public--wonderful idea. As with YouTube personas, for PODcasting, the sky's the limit (TSTL--to propose a text message epithet.) A carnival barker PODcast avatar comes to mind--"Step right up library folks now starring at your library!" A radio script modelled on old time radio might be clever. An assistant to library webczar would be useful to pull together the marketing strategies for PODcasting and YOUtubing, etc., etc., etc..

Listing

The "Remember the Milk," and Jott sites are interesting. I couldn't find the Login for "RTM" at first, it's way up in the top right corner. I tried to edit my initial task at "RTM," but it didn't seem to work. After clicking on the Tasks tab I didn't see a list of what to do; and after clicking on my previously posted task I later found an editing window way down in the lower right hand corner.
All of which is to say, it wasn't intuitively obvious to me how to use "RTM" as an end user. BUT, as with any of these myriad Tools, time should tell, I'm sure this is useful for task management. I shall set up a personal account to see. Usage is a bit like the new remote on a new television; it can take a while to figure out the procedures and/or to just find the buttons.
As to Jott; a great barrier was not wanting to leave another voice mail in the universe. I'm sure it works just fine and is fun for many folks. So it goes.
