Copyrights

The copyright issue is a real minefield and the Creative Commons solution attempts to propose a practical contemporary solution to the problem. It isn't universally popular however. It offers a range of licenses based on what people might want to do with material. What do you think?

Further to last fridays session

If you want to listen to more about the BBC Cuts and the likely affects the most recent edition of Feedback would be a good place to start. Other BBC Radio progs that might appeal and are available via 'listen again' or podcast are:

The Film Programme

Front Row

The Leading Edge

Soundscape: the sea swallow

There are plenty of other programmes you might find interesting. Have a go at using iTunes and subscribe to a few and download them. You should get familiar with some of the programmes formats.

Now you have a blog

I showed you briefly the google reader. This is a popular feed reader and using RSS will tell you when someone writing a blog has added a new posting. Since you have set up Blogger.com accounts and Blogger is owned by Google its easy to use the same ID and password etc. If you have a GMAIL account, then its even easier.

There is plenty of help on the net. These are on Youtube - setting up a google reader, adding feeds and managing feeds.





They are quite short tutorials - you could figure it out for yourself. But they might save some time and confusion.

If you're interested you might want to watch the del.icio.us tutorial. What is it? How can you use it?

round up late wed

Great to see you all trying hard. Some really impressive starts. We will work our way through your research in fridays session. I have left comments on each of the blogs. Several have room for further work before friday. There are a couple of blogs missing - hopefully they wil be up before then. Use the links and view and comment on a few blogs too. regards, Mike J
