#21 Podcasts

This was a session in which it was easy be be distracted onto tangents, and when time is limited, it wasn't so easy or interesting to focus on Library 2.0 queries.
The first source of podcasts needed Active8 software installed, so I didn't bother with that. Podalley.com provided plenty of diversionary and good resource material - I listened to a book reading for a while, what's new from the Director of the NLM (announcement of Nobel prizewinners), public library updates, and some useful stuff in a Manager's toolbox presented in a conversational style. There was a rich supply of management material including 2 brave ones on B.O.

The best of these on Library 2.0 is Second Life, in the best American venacular: http://www.rabble.ca/rpn/files/wos/wos-2006-11-21.mp3

I tried to get local podcasts to work (radio 774) and unsuccessfully searched for an RSS feed to upload. I had limited success with podcasts overall. I'm not MP3 or iPod savvy.
