Podcasts
The podcasts is refer to as a non- musical audio or video broadcast that it placed over the internet, the delivery method is mostly through RSS.
The podcast that I found to be interesting is one relating to the library of congress called Geraldine Brooks: Book Festival 08 and the information is given by the author Geraldine Brooks concerning facts about her writing and herself of how she relates to writing and how she likes to fill in details concerning different areas. There were many different podcasts relating to book festival I found this one interesting.

Facebook/ MySpace
I believe that these would be helpful in a library because is allows people to communication from around the world with each other without having to wait weeks to get responses back like with normal post mail.
It allows old friends to communicate with each other if they move and keep in contact.
It related more to people because it is easy and fun as well as it gives you the chance to meet new people from around the world share information, pictures, adventures.
Within school libraries it would allow the students to talk to other students of different schools all around the world it opens up a lot to people because the internet it use more than any other type of communication.
People feel more comfortable with using the internet to communicate then they do with any other type of communications available and allows people to learn about things that they didn’t know and it lets them tell there story of what they have done, where they have been, who they have seen etc.
It’s a interest and fun way of getting to know people and learn lots of information.

Presentation of flickr
I have selected to do Flickr for my presentation because I found this site to be helpful and appropriate to be used in different libraries. Within libraries I believe that it is important to have available something that allows people to share what has been happening in their lives and interesting things that they have found and flickr is great to do that.
It allows people to communicate about things that they had experienced that they want to share, i believe that it will be helpful in school libraries because it would give students the chance to take pictures of trips, hoildays and events that they have participated in and discuss them online and have fun with it.
