23 Summary

I'm really glad I've finished 2.0. I learned a lot and can (hopefully) help customers with their questions. I've connected a few dots on the technology and understand when people speak of the different ones. This has been a good learning experience. Too bad everything changes so fast. I'm already behind.

22 Digital audiobooks

This particular application we should all know. If we don't, shame on us. More and more titles are available this way AND customers ask us for assistance in getting these juicy reads. Yeah, us!

Weather podcast

Farmers depend on weather reports, so as Farmchick, I subscribed to the nation weather service podcast. I'll know ahead of time when those thunderboomers are comin'.

There are interesting podcasts out there, but this particular technology is not that useful to me.

YouTube

I think this site is fascinating. I've watched Susan Boyle win; I've seen cats doing hilarious things and laughed so hard; I've watched tutorials. This is one area that can be utilized by libraries. I've watched fingerplay tutorials so I'd know the tune and the movements for storytimes. Flannel board stories are easy to learn as well as string games. YouTube is a blast.

Award winners

It's a little funky to be able to manipulate photos and place Demi Moore's hair on Obama's head. But it's very, very disturbing. I learned to do this in the Hairmixer application.
I also looked at what can be done when you create your own comic strip. I think the average lay-person should probably not be doing this. Boring. The application is Comiqs.
Craigslist, however is a huge success story all by itself. Almosts no one looks in the newspaper anymore.
