23rd thing

This has been a great fun crash course in exciting web possibilities. Maybe in a few years I'd be willing to hear of new ideas and review what I found in the first 22 things.

Downloadable media

I'm glad to have had some hands on experience with our two services. When I checked on an Overdrive book, I found there was a wait of several people ahead of me. I greatly enjoyed NetLibrary's "find in this material" feature.

A podcast directory

I've always planned to publish classroom materials that I developed as tutorial materials for simple mathematics and introductory chemistry. I'm thinking now that podcasts could be the way to go!

Unfortunately I was unable to view my podcast choice (http://www.isallaboutmath.com/isallaboutmath.xml) after I downloaded podcast viewing software.

As the time approaches for me to start my podcasts, I'll try this again.

You-Tube

When I searched for toddler storytime, I found a great commercial for storytime at Barnes and Nobles. It seems each SAPL location could have a similar story time with familiar faces--and, of course, permission.

Award winning site

I've always wanted to compare different travel aides and farecast allowed that. I concluded I can stick with my usual favorite for air travel. One site did not openly properly and, maybe coincentally, I did need to clear my cache afterwards before I could log into blogger.

In the library I'd like to recommend farecast rather than any single site.

I look forward to playing with the other award-winners.

Online productivity

Fascinating! I don't foresee using these tools in the near future. They could be useful for some folks.
