podcasts

Library applications - I note on the Denver site that there are copyright notes on each book being podcast. It would be great to provide some additional storytelling outreach services this way. With our last HSC lecture series we asked our speakers if we could record them for a podcast or video them but they all declined (they lose money this way)

answer boards and social bookmarking

well I took a look at taste.com.au, and the first recipe I looked up sounded great and low and behold there was a little delicious logo down the bottom so I added it in to my delicious account - this is fun!
Answer boards - i have run into these before just with general reference enquiries - sometimes I have found them to be good at other times just annoying - i like the slam the boards idea of doing it on the 10th of the month so will put it in my calendar - if I am on the reference desk on these days I can have a look and try some

Technorati

that was clever - i did the open id claim and technorati talked straight to my blog!
"Congratulations!
You've successfully claimed your blog. Now please tell us a little more about it. (You can always edit this later.) "
Using technorati would ensure that any library blogs were definitely out there in cyber world to be found by other people

adding a delicious feed

I found the delcious feed url but for some reason I can't put it into my blog as a FEED on the layout page - this is the URL I found on my delicious page
http://feeds.delicious.com/rss/lmcm
I will give this some further thought and it might appear later on my blog
I quite like delicious and would definitely like to use it to bookmark all the websites that are on my desktop. We have it showing on our reference desk pc's so I think staff will start using it after this training

technorati and Lbrary Thingy

The search for the term "bookmobile" netted me different numbers of results in general search and in advanced search (under exact phrase) - though the first couple of results do appear to be the same. I also checked out the genral search term "manly" but of course that pulled up some weird and wonderful blogs.
Applications - Librarythingy - http://www.librarything.com/ obviously has heaps of applications for individuals to use - and libraries could promote this site and hold lessons in how to use this site for individuals. Library run book clubs could also make use of this site and it could be promoted to Book Clubs who are using the public library system to source their books and keep track of what members are reading.
by the way I absolutely ADORE all the names of these things - very clever
