May as well stay on the subject of television. The TVSquad blog is a great one for staying abreast of updates of shows, stars, and ratings. Sadly I see that my new favorite show, Studio 60, is not doing well. And I’m not in their small but affluent demographic either…
Just tell yourself that this is for reference reasons if you need to, but you may also find it useful. Christmas Movies Schedule is a handy guide for Christmas shows on TV. It ranges from made-for-TV films, to It’s a Wonderful Life and best of all includes children’s shows like Charlie Brown.
LibWorm is an RSS search engine specifically for library sites. They have over 1000 RSS feeds that they index. It is a really handy way to quickly look for a subject and find out if the biblioblogosphere has been discussing it. You can also browse by categories or specific subjects, handily each category and subject has its own feed. This means that you can subscribe to a subject like Library 2.0 and have all those posts delivered directly to you! Sweet!
A big thank you for including this blog in the feeds! However, I would like to see a way for those bloggers not included to easily submit their URL or RSS feed.
Quick Thumbnail is handy for bloggers or for those of us who are doing new websites where we hope to easily incorporate photographs and images. Choose your image, then you can choose to resize it in several different ways: by percentage, by fixed sizes in pixels, or by standard sizes. Slick and easy to use.
Wize is a site filled with information on a wide variety of products. The site ranks products in categories by taking both expert and users’ reviews as well as the overall buzz about the product. You can browse by category or take a look at their top 100 products.
I appreciate their combination of social site ranking and expert input. The site is clean, clear and easy to navigate, making this a great place to research your next purchase.
I am sure that few people have a family filled with food sensitivities like mine is. But I do know that others struggle with food-based allergies as well as general allergies. In comes the free href=”http://www.allergycards.com/”>AllergyCards.com that allows users to create an allergy alert card to carry with them. It tells the severity of the allergy, the exact allergy, has extra space for more details, and then has an emergency contact for exposure.
As for my family, we could just make this a holiday craft and each fill out our very own!
Flickr is now offering a Camera Finder that lets you see what cameras are most popular on Flickr, but best of all also lets you browse shots taken with those cameras! You can see the quality of the photographs for yourself before you buy. That would have saved me making the mistake I did with our last home digital camera. Ah well, live and learn, and use this guide to help!
The Best Media in Life is Free is a site that links to the best in free online media from free audio book to e-books to music. All free and legal to use.
What I appreciate most about it is learning about new websites that offer free content to visitors. As a librarian, I am always looking for new options for online content that is legal for people to access. This is a treasure trove.
