MASHUP Jigsaw thanks to Big Huge Labs.


I love this jigsaw thingy as I have it on my desktop. It is cool all the stuff one can do. Copyright may be a problem depending on how the mashups are used/shared.
See (Paml's comment from Sept 08) in COMMENTS in Week 10.
I will try maps next time who knows where this will gooooo.
As for library application dressing up blogs, files, flyer's and all that other stuff we do to our cyber stuff will be refreshing . Instead of seeing the same old clip art AARRRH, publisher enhancements etc the world of imagination and it is only limited by this is really opening up to the techsavy.

PodCasts

"Pod casts" my kids have entered this phrase into the language around our home.
Yea just another mobile phone come computer game add on that computer hybrid generation X has latched onto and embraced as they do with techy toys. (SIDE BAR) I am one who is self taught computers, internet etc and I STILL think mobile phones should just be able to send and receive phone calls. Off the soap box now.
Comes week 9 Oh, pod casts Ho Hum.....WOOOOW I am hooked!!!!!!!! this is brilliant as to what one can do on his humble 186...(Joke). This is truly fantastic.
What a fantastic vehicle podcasts are. I can see them being utilised in a public library. Like other commenters they all seem to see a great future in Podcasts as they have written and I wont repeat but they are definitely right.
I went to the ABC's site and discovered the amazing amount of material there to be viewed this way. I assume many other utilities will or do offer this service.
And (Please excuse the conjunction starting this sentence*)what about the future , only time will tell where this will end up.
