Two New Podcasts: Health Tips & Ag Econ
Today we added another two podcasts to our directory of government podcasts:
- Daily HealthBeat Tip - "Launched on July 11, 2005, this service provides health promotion and disease prevention tips 5 days a week in audio and text formats." Site encourages broadcasters to use tips with attribution. Probably good for podcasters.
- Economic Research Service (ERS) Podcast - Audio items on a number of agricultural economic topics.
New Poll – Time for a FGI Podcast?
Hi All, We at Free Government Information are considering launching a podcast. We are thinking of something a little like the popular LibVibe podcast, which runs between 5 and 15 minutes and would feature news from this site and other govdoc related blogs and news sources. As far as a publishing schedule, we're thinking about twice a month or so until we got the hang of podcasting. But if there is no interest in a podcast, we could keep working on other stuff.

If we get at least 50 people saying definitely or maybe, we'll go forward. Continue reading

Even without her slides and other materials, I found it to be a both a solid introduction for beginners and a refresher for people like myself who have de.licio.us accounts but haven't done much with them. Something Ms. Bridgewater said gave me a flash of inspiration involving de.licio.us, rss feeds and feed2js. If anything real becomes of it, I'll let you know. The social bookmarking session is available in the Institute's archive. If you have a broadband connection, you owe to yourself to subscribe to these events and maybe even participate live. There's just no excuse for missing out on great continuing education these days. I realize this isn't about government information at all, but it is a tool we can use to promote it. Continue reading
