Finishing up

Over the last few days I have worked on #19. I really liked Google.Maps. I usually use Yahoo.Maps, but since they launched a new version have really struggled with it. Google.Maps is much more user friendly, like Yahoo used to be. I have made the switch. The only thing that remains to be done on #19 is add the picture of my library. The picture is too large to insert, so I need to crop it and insert it.

#20 was fairly easy. I have viewed videos on YouTube before. There was a contest, I love my Library. I viewed the five finalists and voted. Then I spent some time locating some videos that I remembered from watching network news. They were relatively easy to find. #20 is completed.

#21 I was very surprised to see that Yahoo Podcast will be ending at the end of October. I was not able to navigate it without opening an account. I didn't see the point of opening one, so I googled podcasts. I read the Wikipedia article on podcasting. Then I googled video sharing and found the DVGuru at www.dvguru.com. There was a very good article on the ten top video sharing servers. You can go to the article for the sites at http://www.dvguru.com/2006/04/07/ten-video-sharing-services-compared/. I checked out Social and Vimeo from this list. I also found www.podcastalley.com and www.podcast.net both list podcast servers. I did a search using the tag "libraries" and found 9 entries at www.podcast.net. I checked out NPR at www.npr.org/rss/podcast/podcast-directory.php and www.digg.com. #21 is completed.

There are just a few more things to do. I need to move my picture to my blog profile. I need to post my library picture to Google.Maps. The pictures are too big and need to be cropped. Once I have done this it shouldn't be too big of a problem to move the picture. I'm not satisfied with #10 and want to review image generators and add a tag to my blog. I still need to complete #22 & #23. I hope to finish this up by the end of the week.
