LibraryThing

This is an interesting site. I like how it is uses amazon to find all of the books you search. I have to admit I never read. I have never enjoyed reading. I will probably never use this site, but it is very functional. You can tag your favorite books and use this site similar to flickr and other sites we have been introduced to. If I was a reader this site would be very informative and helpful to find new books that I would enjoy.

Online image generators

I played around with a bunch of the suggested sites and had a lot of fun with all of them. The one I chose to post about was the B-Movie superhero name generator. I entered my name in and my superhero name came back as "chief fistcrunch". That was funny to me. There was a lot of amusing generators that you could spend hours with.

podcasts

I used podcast alley to find a podcast. I ended up subscribing to better golf with fitness. There are a lot of interesting podcats on these sites. It would be interesting to see how many of these are informative and useful. As the video showed us, just about anyone can make a podcast. It is very easy to search for for a variety of topics or interests. I look forward to listening to some of these podcats and searching for new ones.

Youtube

I have been on youtube many times. I think the site is great. I can watch stand up comedy acts, highlightes of sporting events, and funny or interesting videos that peole have uploaded. The thing I like the best is that this site is free and fast. You can fast forward or rewind a video with little or no waiting. As you mentioned, this site does have a lot of useless videos. I tried to search for a couple of coaching drills or plays. This site has everything you could think of. Just like the internet though, you have to search for the good stuff. There are many videos that could be beneficial to students. Exercising, or "how to" videos are all over.

technorati

This site has a lot of information on it. It has many tabs to keep things organzied and easy to access. I noticed that some of the photos didn't look like they had much to do with kinesiology, but you never know how some people will tag things. The videos look very informative. Technorati seems like another site that could be great for research purposes. No matter what your interests are, this site has it. You can tag authors, and sites to help keep you informed and updated. You can check out the top 100 blogs, and place your blog mainstream. This was an interesting site with a lot of inormation.

del.icio.us

Although I did not sign up for an account, I think this site would be great for teacher to use. I spent some time looking at tags named health and exercise. There were a lot of sites that had fitness ideas or routines. There was even a site that had a program named cron-o-meter that helped track your caloric intake. Teachers who use this could find a lot of lessons and share many ideas with one another. You can find a bunch of different topics and interests on this site as well. Whatever your hobby, it is probably on del.icio.us. This site also allows you to keep all of your sites bookmarked, and allows access on any computer. This site would also be helpful for any research purposes.
