Video and the Web

I have been tinkering with video on the web. I have been trying to use the hardware I currently have. I shot a short video with my Olympus digital camera this past weekend. But, it did not record audio. Here it is. My cousin's Band participated in Rock United in Pittsburgh.




So, since this was not very successful and I want to start recording and pushing to YouTube a bit, I have ordered a new piece of equipment. It is called Flip Video Ultra (http://theflip.com/index_flip.shtml). Hopefully this will allow me to record and post to YouTube/iTunesU/MySpace Video or other sites a bit easier.

Remember, you should have permission before you post!

FaceBook PSU Library Applications

Many Applications are making appearances in facebook, to change the way that you interact with this network.

The Penn State Libraries has released a tool that allows you to search the CAT in facebook.

Here is a link to the application, if you wish to install and run it in your facebook account.

Google Reader

I thought I would post and share my experience with Google Reader. I use Google Reader to aggregate blogs I read. This allows you to add blogs into one place or website and go to that one page to read new postings.

If you are participating in a class and required to share and read other students/instructors blog posts, this is the easiest way to go to read all new posts. If someone has posted a new blog it will appear on your google reader as a new posting.

It is available at www.google.com/reader. I have placed a short cut link on my list of links. I hope this helps in the sharing and reading of blogs.
