Ok, podcasts, rock and roll. Right now I don't subscribe to any library podcasts, although I probably should. To get my library news, I normally read library blogs instead. The podcasts I do subscribe to are mostly Broadway related since that's an interest of mine. Like with all other fairly new technologies, there is a backlash and Dan Savage took issue with his podcast being mentioned in a blog post titled Is Podcasting Dead? from Information Week.
I'm still unclear exactly what the difference is between video podcasts and video blogs or "vlogs". From what I can tell, there isn't really a difference. I liked the Boulder Teen Webcasts and thought they were a good idea. I think that it's cool that libraries reach out to younger users through a medium they're probably already using. Podcasts are also a good way to share news of what's happening at your library and that's never a bad idea. Vlogs seem to be the even more new thing and I must admit that since the TV Writer's Strike, I have been watching lots more vlogs, most of which are related to Brotherhood 2.0 - teen author John Green and his brother Hank's video blog that took place during 2007.
