These are the two online apps that I've looked at today. I'm already familiar with podcasts, though I've never really taken the time to listen to one. I guess I've always though they were too time-consuming to bother with. But I subscribed to a podcast from Gateworld (www.gateworld.net), a website dedicated to one of my favorite TV shows, Stargate SG-1. It was a lively broadcast, and the speakers had many interesting things to say. I may listen to more of this podcast, and maybe others, though I don't know what other kinds to look for.
I also took the time to browse Netlibrary. This could be one of the largest online libraries in the world, with 200,000 items in its collection. It functions very much like a regular library catalog, but the difference is you can download items directly from it. It has a very comprehensive collection, from classics like Sherlock Holmes and Tom Sawyer to works of philosophy to modern fiction titles. An online library like this could very much compete with a physical library, which may be what ends up happening if these continue to catch on.
