Thing 46: Updates!

Revisiting the original 23 things...



Thing 21 Discover some useful search tools for locating podcasts.

I had originally had a look at this site: http://podcasts.yahoo.com

One thing that is definitely new since I did this is that apparantly this site doesn't exist anymore so perhaps my blog entry was correct - may as well just search for podcasts in search engines, not need a special search engine/page for it

I did, however, find a couple of specific search engines by Yahoo:

http://video.yahoo.com/ - for video

and one for audio

http://audio.search.yahoo.com/audio - did a search for abc.net.au and found a few hits.

As it says Find audio files from across the Web including music, podcasts, interviews and more I guess that they've expanded coverage.

I still think it's easier to just do a search for podcasts within a particular site or on a particular topic across any search engine.


Thing 13 Learn about tagging and discover a Del.icio.us (a social bookmaking site)

http://delicious.com/ - the site name has changed - no need to remember where those dots are anymore!

re registered and found it much easier this time round to navigate & add entries etc

The layout of the site is much different from what I remembered; a lot easier to make sense of the results and the layout of the tags is much better.

Big improvement for this site!!
