Assignment #10- nearly Done!

Wow, time sure does fly! Almost time for our Par-tay, to celebrate our completion of Community Web 2.0!!
I love You Tube so I really enjoyed this week's assignment.
Being the brown noser that I am, I selected a video about Web 2. 0 to place as a link in my blog. Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LzQIUANnHc
Everything he talked about seemed familiar except for Ajax.
I went to check out Podcast.net but for some reason the link didn't work.
I found podcast alley though, as I tried to access podcast.net in a search, so I checked it out instead. As our weather has not been the greatest lately, to say the least, I chose "travel" as my podcast genre and was surprised that most of the choices are in the US. When I chose Hawaii, instead of being taken away as I had hoped, to a sunny white sandy beach, I was asked to subscribe or vote, so I couldn't view anything. So I tried a couple things, I hit "subscribe" and was told I needed to download a "podcast aggregator"? Ah, thanks but no thanks. It asked if I wanted to add this podcast to my podcast collection. I thought naah, I don't really need to start another "collection" of things I'm just not going to use/ watch/ look at again.
I then checked out podcast alley and the top conversation was about the top sex pod casts. Now I really know I don't care for this site. Not that I'm a huge prude, but...not a site I'll be going back to any time soon.
Lastly, the Yahoo podcast link didn't work either so I searched for it and came to Yahoo, but couldn't search for Yahoo pod casts.
As for how I think podcasts might help our organisation, it would be pretty great to have educational and informative videos for our clients to access and view, regarding job search tips and techniques, community resources and links, etc. Sort of like a virtual resource centre.
I will keep reading the "More information about podcasts" section, because I also think that it would be pretty neat to create one and send to family and friends, just in time for Christmas!!!
