I found the following Podcasts to add to my aggregator account:
1. Books on the Nightstand - a combination of blog and podcast about books
2. LearnItalianPod.com - a podcast with short lessons (about 5 minutes) to learn Italian. The website has different series for different levels.
3. CBC's Vinyl Cafe Stories - Stuart MacLean's fantastic stories of Dave and his family and their (mostly his) misadventures.
I haven't had a change to listen to Books on the Nightstand yet, but it sounds interesting. The LearnItalianPod.com sounds like an great way to improve my almost non-existent Italian. I'll have to give it a try. Finally, I love listening to the Vinyl Cafe, but hardly ever remember to tune in when it's being broadcast. The podcast is great. I can listen when I have the time. This I will definitely use!
I'll have to check these out in iTunes, it may be easier to transfer them to my iPod that way.
Great assignment! I had looked at Podcasting very briefly several years ago, but now I'm going to try to use them! I will definitely spend more time looking through Podcast Alley.

Assignment #5 - Delicious
Busy week last week, didn't get to Assignment#4. I will .
Delicious! Fun name for a useful web tool. I created a delicious account many years ago, used it for a few days, then left it alone. Over the years, I've gone back and added links when a certain project came up and then abandoned it once again.
I'm not sure why I don't consistently use this tool. I think I would like it better if I had more ways to organized my links (yup, I'm in the right profession). I would love to be able to group them into collections and have different options of formatting the display. Maybe this is possible and I just haven't figured it out.
Organizing the links just by tags alone doesn't really satisfy- particularly when searching for 'like' links in other people's lists. It depends so much on personal naming decisions that it's not all that comprehensive.
On the other hand, I've just used it again to find library programs and services for 'Older Adults'. While searching Delicious, I found a few more links that my Google searching hadn't found, which proves to me that Delicous does have value. I'll have to figure out a way to make better use of this tool.
