Week Nine

I appreciate the tons on information that is available via podcasting (I've signed up for an RSS feed for a small business podcast in the hopes of tying into my business outreach) but for me it comes down to a matter of time. My life demands that any podcast exposure time comes at the expense of reading time and I'm just not ready to give that up.... yet.

On the streaming music side, I love the new databases that the library has subscribed to. That is the sort of content that I can slip into my life without giving up something else. For me, having music playing in the background is a little different from an audio file where I'm trying to learn something and need to be paying closer attention.

Week Eight

I've had a couple different occasions to use the Google documents feature. For collaborating with folks who aren't all at the same physical location it works quite well. The only (or the biggest) downside is the need for users to create an account with Google... who wants to keep track of yet another account/login/password? Not many.
