Thing # 22 eAudiobooks/ NetLibrary
I was kind of familiar with this since I have helped customers get an account. I got myself an account this time. I browsed the Netlibrary by Subject. I looked at the titles under YP non fiction and it had 4 eAudiobooks and one of them was 2002 edition. I also looked at the Health and Medicne category. I liked the "eBook of the month" feature. I did not download any ebook at this time.

Thing # 21 Podcasts
I added Brave and Brass Book Blog feed to my Bloglines. It's a Penguin Podcast site and has interviews with Teen authors to promote books. I enjoyed listening to Anthony Horowitz, he talked about his Strombreaker movie and how he came up with his character Alex Rider for his books. He sounds like a great speaker and his english accent was cool! Wish we could invite him to speak at Cascades!! At some point, I would like to explore Odeo's Studio for creating a podcast that could be used for training purposes and also for teens/children's book clubs where the kids/librarians could podcast their reviews/thoughts on books etc. Adding video would be even better.

Thing #19 Web 2.0 Tools
I took a look at the short list. I played with the real estate's propsmart and found it interesting and helpful, it would be a good site to recommend to someone who is planning a move. I also tried the pageflakes and Etsy. I'm not sure if I'll be using it though. Check out this slide show. This was great, take a look: http://www.slide.com/

Thing # 18: Online Productivity Tools!
This is simply awesome! Another great collaborative tool! I created Zoho account and then saved a document and published it in my blog! Since it is web based it would be more beneficial than the Microsoft Word processing etc.! What I liked about it is that you can edit the document from your blog as well. !
