It’s been a hectic week so I’m recycling an article I wrote for another blog/newsletter, Blandin on Broadband; I thought folks would find it interesting http://blandinonbroadband.wordpress.com/2007/04/27/intro-to-flickr-video-podcast/ Last week I created my first video podcast. I did it using a resource called PodcastPeople to record the videocast. Then I posted it on YouTube, which makes it … Continue reading

Web 2.0 Presentation
Yesterday I gave a presentation with my friend David Erickson at e-Strategy (http://www.e-strategy.com/) at a conference sponsored by the Minnesota Council on Nonprofits (http://www.mncn.org/event_communicate.htm). We gave a presentation on Web 2.0. I gave a sneak preview a couple of weeks ago when I sent out a Byte on Twitter. Other topics we discussed included: • MySpace … Continue reading
Byte of the Week Blog
OK I’ve said it before but this time I really mean it. I moved the Byte to a blog (https://byteoftheweek.wordpress.com/). I spent literally hours this weekend cutting and pasting weekly articles as individual posts – going back to 2003! I added categories, an RSS feed, and I promise to try to add new posts to … Continue reading
Send out Your Blog by Email
Over the last few weeks I have been working on working on a blog about broadband telecommunications for the Blandin Foundation (www.blandinonbroadband.org). Griff Wigley of Wigley Associates (http://wigleyandassociates.com) has been helping; he’s a blog coach. It’s been a fun project. In the process I have learned about a very cool tool – Feedburner (www.feedburner.com), a … Continue reading
Blogger Goes Google
Google (www.google.com) bought Blogger (www.blogger.com) a while ago – but so far users have not been forced to use the new Google features – that is until now. I just “upgraded” one of my blog accounts and I thought I’d share what I learned. Things I liked: It’s easier for people who aren’t tech savvy … Continue reading

From what I’ve seen, swickis are search engines that you can put on your web site or blog. Visitors to your web site can use … Continue reading
You Tube – It’s Easy
I mentioned You Tube earlier this summer. It’s a web site where you can post video clips for free. Well, I finally had a chance to use it and I wanted to report back on how easy it is. I recently posted a fun video on broadband technology for a group from International Falls, Minnesota. … Continue reading
Blog Categories
I’ve talked about blogs before – they are web logs where the author posts regular articles, generally on a given topic. People use them to show off a hobby, keep their audience updated on a project or event, demonstrate their expertise, or many other reasons. Blogger (www.blogger.com) is a free blog creation tool and hosting … Continue reading
Lily’s Podcast
OK I guess I’m kind of into podcasts now. Lily is my 7 year old daughter. We just recorded her first podcast yesterday, “10 Questions About.” She started by writing down 10 questions she had about lions. Then we researched lions together online using Yahooligans (www.yahooligans.com), Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org), and an online dictionary (www.dictionary.com). We … Continue reading
