Hi,
For anyone who is on Blackboard IM, I am on it now. So let me know if you want to connect through it.
Job search 2011 group project is turning out to be more benefical to me than I expected it to be. I knew I would benefit from it but I don't think I knew how much. I am so glad that we picked this topic. There are great resources out there and using these resources teaches me skills that I need and motivates me to try out the new skills :)
I listened to a lot of podcasts this week to see which one would be a good artifact for time capsule. While listening to it, I realized that some hosts really go off the topic and go on and on about other things while some really stay focused. Listening to so many taught me a few things that I would do or not do if I were making a podcast myself. First, I would stay on topic. Second, I would keep it short. Podcasts seem somewhat different from regular radio shows. There might be regular subscribers but some people also want to listen to particular episodes for a targeted reason. I was one of those listeners this week and really did not enjoy having to go through episodes that lasted moreo than a hour. If it were a podcast was being created as a marketing tool, it would definitely have to stay under 15 seconds... or at least have something that grabs attention in the first ten second.
