YouTube - there's such a wide variety of stuff on here and it's fair to say that many people have found notoriety as a result of posting a clip in the hope that the world will see.
Prime example and a favourite of mine is this guitar solo of an edgier take on Pachelbel's Canon from a young 'faceless' Korean guy who plays exceptionally well using little to no self-expression!
Podcasting - I think these are great - and very useful as you can catch up on shows/interviews etc that you missed at a time that's suitable to yourself.
Overdrive - excellent resource offered by the library!

Week 2: Flickr, del.icio.us and tagging
I'd like to know how the people who create these Web technologies come up with the names - flickr for photos and delicious for bookmarking - huh??
I can see how flickr could be useful for many people - for me, not so much other than browsing through the sometimes spectacular and other times stupid photos that people take. I really got a laugh-out-loud reaction from this photo that was taken on my birthday: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chauss513/2437736394/ - it kinda reminded me of when i was a kid and played golf with all the toads after the rain - but of course I wouldn't dare do such a cruel and nasty thing to one of God's creatures today!
...and of course I couldn't look through flickr without adding this photo that unsurprisingly belongs to the '4eva cute set': http://www.flickr.com/photos/smileona/3097221561/
As for delicious - I guess it's main attraction is its portability - but honestly, aren't all things able to be found by a good reference librarian?

Week 1: Create a blog
Hey there
Creating this blog was really easy - I even got to do it on the reference desk - uninterrupted - oops typed too soon! I hope the following weeks will be as simple.
So anyhow, you may've gathered that i like kimmidolls. Aren't they cute - did you know that they all have a philosophical meaning behind them all? Check 'em out at http://kimmidoll.com/
I should mention that this blog is in no way affiliated with the site.
Go Joneses, go Joneses, get your groove on...
