Thing 21

I tried all the podcast sites. I had trouble with one because my computer didn't have the right software. But I got on http://podcasts.yahoo.com/. I got to hear an interesting NPR story about how astronauts try to sleep in space. They have to tie pillows to their heads and use velcro strips to tie their legs to their bodies if they want to sleep in a fetal position. All very interesting stuff.

I can see podcasts being useful. Just like radio and TV.

Thing 20

I have heard a lot about YouTube in the news. But I never looked at it, especially since my home computer supposedly didn't have the "right" sotfware, download, etc.

At first I clicked on whatever was on the homepage, which included the "Toilet Paper Folder and Dispenser" video.

Then I did a search for "funny" and came across this funny video of cats. LOL!

Thing 19

I went through the list and came across www.lulu.com. It basically allows you to literally self-publish your novel, which instrigued me. You can choose font type, cover color, binding type, etc. For a writer who just wants to see his or her writing in published form this site might work. It doesn't provide marketing services or anything beyond the printing of your written work. But for some, seeing your work in book form is enough.

I am now trying this through Google Docs. Let's see how this goes!

Thing 18

As you see below, I did the last post through Zoho! Very interesting how you can now do on-line word processing and then just post it to your blog. That might be kind of handy for me when it comes to my personal blog, http://christynahunter.blogspot.com. That would save a step between writing my work in MS Word and then copying and pasting it in Blogger. Something to think about in the future.

Post Through Zoho! Writer

I am practicing this on-line word processing software. Interesting.

Thing 17

PB Wiki. Hmmm. Again, I must be an "old-timer," but I really don't like the idea of making a website and letting others add to it as they please. I guess this would be good to have for an on-line class or discussion perhaps.

Although, I saw this wiki, http://nodeadtrees.pbwiki.com/, where people can add a sentence or chapter to a book. As a writer, that seemed intriguing.
