It's A Party

I have finally reached the FINAL thing! I went to Listen Alaska and downloaded some music to put on the MP3 player. I was disappointed when I noticed all the music files in Listen Alaska didn't list MP3 as an option. I thought I would try it any way - I downloaded the files into the Windows Media Library from there it was easy to transfer onto the MP3 player. I was able to get Hula, Hula, Hula Luau Party by The Molokai Ten onto the player. I also tried to download some music by my friends The Whipsaws from the internet but was not able to do it from their myspace page or webpage. Maybe I'll be able to figure all this out when I have more time with my own Ipod - When I win it in the drawing next month - I hope I win - I've always wanted one and now I know how to use it!

Until then, remember:
Life is a Luau, Don't forget to Hula once in awhile !

And the Award Goes To...

I really enjoyed sifting through the list of web 2.0 award winners. I checked out MANY of these sites. Pandora Radio is now my favorite internet radio station - I tune in all the time - it is a lot of FUN! If I was single, I thought the Last.FM site could be a perfect tool for the next rage in internet dating - finding potential mates based on the music they listen to! Sounds like a perfect match to me. I already used Craigslist a lot - it definitely is easy to use - easy to find stuff & relatively easy to post on too.

My greatest discovery from this "thing" was the site "Upcoming.org". It is a Yahoo based website that allows you to post up coming events you may wish to publicize for free. Since it is a Yahoo site you do need to be registered with them (I already had one from previously), this is easy to do. Then you just fill in the fields with necessary info and add pics if you want (pretty easy to do except you may need to format original to square size for best results). It will automatically generate a beautiful listing complete with map and directions to your event. I have used this site now a couple of times to publicize the events for the guitar shop. It works pretty slick - It is easy to use & FREE! Also, since it is a Yahoo based site many times a search in a search engine will pull up your results in the first page - a good thing for a new business starting out! I will definitely use it again for any future events. I think the library should consider using it for any events it has.

I said NO, No, no

TechNOrati... Another one of these "things" I just didn't find much of a use for... I added a link into my igoogle page to keep a eye on what gets talked about - thinking it might help me understand the redeeming qualities of this site. It still didn't help much but I did find myself clicking a couple links that popped up there that have helped me understand trends in the 2.0 world. I did go in several things and check out the "top blogs" and looked around a bit in the "Music" catergory. Amy Winehouse is big news today with her being charged with assalting a fan - That woman is a TRAINWRECK although entertaining to watch!
