I really enjoyed the presentations from last semester's students on Podcasting, Flickr, and Video Podcasting / Video Blogging.
All of these were concepts I was previously familiar with, but all the presentations brought to mind some new uses and additional information that I wasn't previously connected with.
I have recently gotten into subscribing to various audio and video podcasts through iTunes. In terms of audio podcasting, I enjoy a few certain radio segments, and a pretty entertaining weekly "debriefing" of one of my favorite network television shows, 24. As a subscriber, each new episode is automatically downloaded every time I log into iTunes, and I usually sync my iPod to take these new podcasts "on the go."
I also really enjoy a couple video podcasts. I subscribe to a video podcast called LearnFlash.com, which provides free lesson examples of flash animation. Because I'm learning Flash, I'm always inerested to see what new use the guys demonstrate. Sometimes it's well beyond my level, sometimes it's right on.
I haven't used flickr much, because I have gotten so used to other photo-sharing sites like Ofoto (Kodak) and Snapfish. (Sometimes shutterfly or photobucket.) I didn't really see much of a great advantage to flickr over these sites, and I just don't have the patience to re-load all my photos and albums to a new site. Maybe I'll become inspired with further knowledge.
Anyways, the presentations were nice to hear, and it's motivating to hear that these people really didn't have a great deal of knowledge about their subjects previous to their class reseach. I'm confident that I'll be able to take away a lot of new insight to many of the emerging Web 2.0 applications.
That's it for now...until next week!
