Podcasting

I've been a huge fan of podcasting for quite a few years now. I remember during the wait for book 6 and book 7 of the Harry Potter series listening to podcasts with different theories about who would live, who would die, and other things.
Podcasting allows a person to share their knowledge on a topic with a group of people by recording audio. Podcasts have topics that range from education to really anything that you may be interested in.
I used Yodio which was pretty user friendly. It allows you to share pictures within your podcast. After you've set up an account you can upload pictures from your computer. When you've picked the picture you want to use you can call the number given on the site and record what you want to say. Once this is done you can create your Yodio. You pick your picture and the recording that you've completed and put them together using their software provided on the site. Overall it was fairly easy to use. The great thing about Yodio is that you can post your Yodio you've made on many different sites or send it in an e-mail.
The tip that I have for anyone using Yodio is to make sure that you record in a quite place and to speak loudly and clearly. I thought I had spoken quite loud but it records pretty quite.
Happy podcasting everyone!

My Delicious Account

Here's my delicious account. Delicious is a pretty cool service. I can see it being helpful for professional and home use. It'd be a simple way to create a Christmas or Birthday wish list! :)
