Back to Assignment #10

This assignment was interesting but some of the links did not work. When I clicked on the yahoo podcasts it took me to the main page and said that the url was not valid. It did have a link to the homepage. I did look around and checked out some of the video clips that were there. As well, when I clicked on the Podcast.net, it said the page could not be found.
In the yahoo site, I type in Podcast in the search bar and it came up with a podcast on how to produce podcasts. I found it very interesting that 52% of all web traffic is video. This indicates to me that podcasts may be a very useful marketing tool. By publishing podcasts on many websites, it would be a valuable tool for getting the word By the sound of traffic geyser, it does the work for you by publishing your podcast on several web based applications. However, there is a cost involved when using their service.
I could not access Odeo's Studio Message was Oops- Looks like you visited a bad link. Did go to it's homepage and did some exploring on the webpage.
On Podcastalley.com one had to download a Podcast Aggregator but didn't want to do that as I have been having problems with my computer.
Reading about how to make a podcast, I found informative and the steps looked fairly simple but time consuming. Both Beginner's Guide and How to podcast spelled out in an understandable manner if one was interested in making a podcast.
Overall, I think the developing of a podcast for RWL would be a very good marketing tool for our services and what we have to offer the community. Placing instructional podcasts (online courses) may also be a valuable service we could offer our clients. It is also neat to go to other Library websites and see if they have added podcasts to their website and what they use them for. Definitely something to look into a little further.
