Online Tools

Google Docs has possibilities. Once again I prefer to keep it simple and not have accounts and passwords for too many various things out there for me to remember. Enjoying the ride however, even if I won't be coming back.

Search Engines

Thanks, Jim, for jogging my memory about a search engine I used to use before GOOGLE kind of took over......it was Metacrawler and it searched the search engines much like Dogpile and Mama. I did the searches for Dublin art galleries in those three and find I still prefer Metacrawler. I will use it again instead of always relying on Google.

Podcasting

I had trouble with this one--at least with getting the feeds to incorporate into my Google reader. I tried Irish music from "Learn Outloud" and that would not transfer. So then I listened to this children's librarian read a story called "Festival of the Bones" in English and Spanish. Very nice and this will do for my podcasting experience.
