Wow, the Gutenberg Project site has a great range of books to download, especially the classics. I think I'll have to join and try some out. I know my public library has eBooks, I put a hold on one and when it was available I couldn't work out how to download it. I'll have to try again......
Almost finished my 23 things!!

Thing # 21 Podcasts
I love the idea of the Melbourne tour Podcasts. I will definitely download a couple and put them on my iPod for my next Melbourne visit. The ABC is such a good site, they seem to be ahead of the game and have worthwhile content too.
My cousin has started writing a series of sci-fi books and recently had the first one (Terra Incognita) published on Podiobooks. It is a great alternative to publishing for new writers!

Thing #20 YouTube
Got stuck playing with this site last night. Started with funny cat clips, then discovered music clips - very dangerous! Just got an e-mail newsletter from World Vision pointing readers to YouTube and the 'Teenage Affluenza' clip. It is interesting to see who is using this technology to reach a new audience - I think John Howard even posts video messages.
Not sure of any possible future for YouTube in libraries but you never know....

Thing # 19 Web 2.0 tools
I chose ma.gnolia to investigate. It would be nice to be able to share bookmarks with other library staff and even clients. I have a heap that I refer to when doing research; especially international, legal and taxation related sites. Web tools such as ma.gnolia could be very useful for creating groups, where we could share our contacts and resources among ourselves. It also allows for discussion and tagging of bookmarks.
Google Docs
I am getting scared now.... Is there anything that google isn't into?
This is better for me than Zoho just because it remembered my Google login automatically and I presume all Google applications will be linked somehow.

Thing # 18
I am writing this using Zoho Writer, not sure of the benefits to this yet, but I will play around with it a bit more.....
