Thing # 23 Week 9

Well I think this was an awesome training module and very necessary to go through the training in ordere to prepare for the new website in hte new year. I started out fully aware that these things existed but had never really had a chance to explore them up until now. Now that I have had a chance to explore I have discovered that it is not all that difficult once you get the hang of it and it does open up a whole new world of technology.
I am excited by the possibilities that there are out there and look forward to putting our new found training into use.

Thing #22 Week 9

Netlibrary is really great. I created an account and searched for music related ebooks. There are a number of really good titles there, I was pretty impressed. I like the fact that it has related topics links just there and also recent searches so you can trace your search history.
Had a bit of a frustrating time though because it kept timing out. Must have been the time of the day!!

Thing #21 week 9

Powerful book promotion made easy

i tried to have a look at this podcast but needed to install active X control but this wasn't possible...

Future of music this also required me to download and install a podcast aggregator.

I think youtube is actually more successful!

Posted the RSS feed onto my bloglines account to the Music Publishing Company La Dolce Vita Publishing Co., a division of La Dolce Vita Enterprises which has samples from their music library

Thing #20 Week 9

Had a wee play on youtube.com excellent fun. Found one called the rock 'n' roll library about a geeky guy who is transformed by the resources he discovers in his library and becomes a rock star....!

Great source of enteraintment, but also could be useful in terms of training or whatever.

Thing#19 Week 8

Had a look ad Last.FM .com which was really cool. I am puzzled about the difference between Pandora and Last.FM and how Pandora is only available within the US.
Also had a look at Discrevolt.com. Wow this is fantastic and a great alternative to the extra cost to musicians of producing CDs. it is also so flexible to enable the musician to use this technology for a miriad of purposes. Exciting possibilities!
