I found a really fun Mashup that combines radio with video. Music TV Goodness allows you to choose your favorite performer or genre of music and then that is combined with videos. Mashupawards.com describes Music TV Goodness as "online music television based on your taste." It's a combination of Last.fm and YouTube that allows you to listen to and watch a continuous stream of performances by your favorite musicians.
Rollyo: Librarian blogs about "privacy issues"
After reading a few librarian blogs (found using Rollyo, a customizable search engine) on the topic of privacy (there were thousands of posts from which to choose), I discovered that the blogs ran the gamut from being very short announcements to being extensive essays. Some bloggers discussed their personal points of view regarding privacy issues, while others just reported facts. Many of the blogs had multiple listings. Librarians have lots to say! Here are just a few examples:
- Free Range Librarian (Oct. 24, 2007): a post discussing OCLC's report on "sharing, privacy, and trust" that addresses how traditional values related to privacy influences how we provide, or don't provide, personalized service to our users
- librarian.net (Dec. 21, 2006): The blogger posts about an incident at a Michigan library where 15,000 patrons personal records were mistakenly made public.
- LibrarianInBlack.net (Aug. 13, 2007): Ask.com's privacy controls are discussed along with the blogger's feelings about them.
- The Krafty Librarian (Feb. 26, 2008): Addresses the privacy issues involved in the creation of an online patient health record by the partnership between Google and the Cleveland Clinic.
- The Shifted Librarian (Feb. 15, 2002): A link to the US Patriot Act and Patron Privacy on Library Internet Terminals
- Annoyed Librarian (Sept. 21, 2007): A long post entitled "Intellectual Freedom, Privacy, and Me"
