SLA 23Things Lesson 20: videos & Lesson 21: podcasts

Well, I just experimented around with YouTube in the last entry. This time I focused on Video Jug. This was very cool. Everything I tried was very professional. I like the discussions, too. It does not have the variety that YouTube has. I don't see any use for these at my job, however. They are just good to know about to keep abreast with my current and future customer base. The challenge says to create an upload a video, but there is no instruction on how to do this.

Odeo is a great place to find podcasts. It was very easy to search via the search box and categories. One of the sites, www.podshow.com, appears to have been taken over by another company Mevio. So I skipped this one. Podomatic is not that useful because you have to have iTunes do heard the podcast for some of them. I couldn't tell how to get stats on these sites becuase you probably have to register with the site. Just like I said in the previous paragraph, I really don't see using a podcast in my corporate library, but it's good to know about, and I will search podcasts personally.
