More 23 Things

Used Google docs the other week to review a pdf document. Extremely useful for sharing files with colleagues. Already used something similar within the City's intranet - Sharepoint. I've used RSS feeds for professional use at home. Reviewed LinkedIn today, just a normal social networking site. Besides this site you may as well use the networking social site of the particular entities you're interested in. This site is very generalized. I have already used LibraryThing and it has come a long way since I first used this software over 3 years ago. Have used YouTube for leisure and culture eg. viewing old music video's that cannot be heard anymore on the radio, researching favourite sports and viewing sport clips. I have seen various library clips and probably in the near future video's of library conferences will be placed on YouTube. Searching in YouTube will never be authoritative as there are too many parameters involved and it will need a culture change. Reviewed HULU today. Extremely good site need further research as it seems to have an American slant to their coverage. This will have impact on libraries in the future but presently users need to have extremely good computer display screens or have the financial means to subscribe and be able to feed the data from their computer to their tv's. For now libraries cater to all of the community regardless of economic background and the latest releases may take a while to be placed on this site. On music streaming, I was able to do this via British Radio stations but somehow the British government has been able to ban overseas IP addresses of accessing the radio stations. Pandora seems to be a companion to the Ipod. It's good that this is a "Internet Radio" compiled by the user. Would like to know if the music can be downloaded to a portable delivery system instead of accessing the Internet all the time. I also see that you have to pay for the privilege. Why would I want to pay for something that I already have/own which can easily be uploaded into an Ipod, MP3 , etc.?
