This week, one of the things I'm exploring is YouTube. I've actually searched and found many interesting things on this site, including instructional videos, old television shows and videos of various humorous things. I think the worst thing about the website is the sheer amount of stuff on it, a lot of which has no value. It can be time consuming to sort through the chaff. Also, I find the comments for most videos to be devoid of meaningful conversation. Still, there is a wealth of entertainment and education to be found on YouTube and I could see it being a great tool to advertise or record events at a library as well as for instructional purposes.
As part of this exercise, I chose to display Obama's inspirational and historical Inauguration speech in this post.
The link to the exercise for podcasting is broken, but I will comment that I already download and listen to several podcasts relating to hobbies of mine.
For the audiobooks exercise, I looked around the Librivox website. I'm a big fan of Charles Dickens and a lot of his work is available for download there. I plan on checking it out when I have the time.
