It's a vast and ever-changing internet out there, and it can be tough to keep up with the changes. One of my favorite ways of finding out what's new on the internet is a great blog called Sites and Soundbytes. Published by Wisconsin library director Tasha Saecker, each entry of the blog reviews a new web site.
Don't have time to read a long entry? This blog's for you. Entries usually run about one paragraph, with a nice quick overview of the reviewed site and a link so that you can try it for yourself. The sites they have reviewed are widely varied, but usually useful, fun, or interesting. For example, recent sites they've reviewed include the Google Maps Street View tool; Lumosity, which they describe as "an online brain fitness exercise program"; and customizable music-broadcasting sites Pandora and Musicovery. The entries range from sites about gardening and produce to the latest in social software innovations. It's quite eclectic.
