Searching #78: Video

Excercise 1. Since I'm a news junkie I looked up news videos on both websites, Truveo and Blinkx. I chose the recent killer whale in Orlando at Sea World video to locate on both sites. It came up on the home page on Truveo. I had a few more clicks to find it on Blinkx but I thought this was a better looking website.

Excercise 2. I checked out the HCPL You Tube Channel. I wathched Samantha at NW's puppet show. I think our branch video at Tomball might be of interest to internet searchers as to ways to help keep libraries open in this down economy. A joint library between the college (LSC) and the community of Tomball is an example of how other communities may pool their money to keep libraries going.

Excercise 1. Using AllFreeClipArt it took me four clicks to get to a color Santa that did not look like a troll.

Excercise 2. I read 10 Places to Find Free Images Online. I checked out Flickr. I had joined Flickr in a previous iHCPL excercise. I like it because it is free. Great source to share photos with family and friends. I also liked fotogenika. Looks like fun but expensive. One can tour local areas, Houston by helicopter or Kemah all without leaving your own home.

Excercise 3. Next I am going to log into the HCPL clipart program and post a picture from there.

Searching #76: Sound Effects

Excercise 2. I am posting the sound effects from Simply the Best because last time the did not post. Here we go.

cowbel.wav

drum_roll-1.wav

fanfare.wav

I put these on my blog but had trouble making it work where the links actually worked. That is why my previous post was blank. When I clicked on the above link icon nothing happened. Hope I have sucess this time around.
