Storytelling websites Thing #13

On Delicious I've posted a couple of storytelling web sites. I have a huge collection of sites on at least three different computers and having one place to collect them all will be very efficient, though getting them all there will take some time.

Thing # 20 You-Tube and Jackie Torrance's storytelling

You-Tube is a gold mine for tellers. Here is a link to the late Jackie Torrance, a master teller, telling the scary tale "The Golden Arm." It is wonderful people will still be able to hear and see Jackie, beginners and experienced tellers alike.

Rollyo--Thing # 12

Admittedly a non-library topic, and certainly non-work related, but the aggreagated list of search sites does seem to work. However, it does feel like too much trouble to use frequently.

Library Thing--Thing # 11

http://www.librarything.com/catalog/dorfmanjo

I only catalogged a couple but this is a site I'll explore further. I can see it being an interesting way to hear about new books and aid in Reader's Advisory.

Image generator moon--Thing # 10

Merlin--thing # 9

Not the ancient wizard but the Maryland Library's learning site. It looks useful but does not seem to have many users. The discussion board has a section on conferences which seems a good place to post handouts. I wish I known about it before I did the workshop for MLA, they could have printed them out for themselves with enough lead time.

here's the link http://www.merlincommunity.org/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=129&func=showcat&catid=30

High Tech for me --Thing # 8

I signed up for several RSS feeds. It may be a time-saver to look at one site instead the the several I usually read.
I'd like to find out how to add some of the interesting bits, like phases of the moon and a clock, to my blog that I see on other people's. Maybe next week...
