A Cast of PodPersons

Well I've spent the morning visiting various podcast sites and generally tootling around to see what's there. Once again, the 'net is a great place for time to slip through your fingers and swirl around until it disappears down the great big World Wide WebDrain.

But it is interesting. Researching so many things is so easy now - even the dumbest question can be answered, because you certainly aren't the first person to wonder "How many lottery winners go bankrupt and why does it happen?"

And iGoogle. I had almost forgotten, but I've been an iGoogler for a couple of years now! I have a personalised google home page, with my gmail and GoogleGroups, plus a recipe site, parenting tips (which I never read) and random quotes - which I've repeated on this blog.

I'm more 2.0 than I thought.

A Thing of Beauty

LibriVox, you are beautiful. I don't know what aspect of it I love more.

First there's the fact that it is all about collecting old and beloved, or old and unknown stories and making them come to life. Love that.

Second there's the fact that it's being done by every day people. Just ordinary people with a passion and the will to be part of something larger. Love that.

And now Del.icio.us

Can anyone tell me why the name is deconstructed? Anyways, I like it as a tool. And I like seeing what others have found to be valuable enough to keep.

Ye scurvy dogs

Yes, I'm late in a number of ways. (Most especially considering the deadline for 23 Things!) But I'm still here.

Library Thing. Hooray for Library Thing! Finally a task I can cheer about. This is useful. This is fun. It's interactive, it's social, it's simple and I love it.

Also, the people at Library Thing completely embraced International Talk Like A Pirate Day (another thing I'm late for), and you can see their efforts archived here:

Worth a look.
