Google Updates Street View for Easier Navigation - AppScout

Google Updates Street View for Easier Navigation - AppScout: "The 360-degree imagery on Google's Street View mapping feature is pretty impressive, but until today, navigating the streets from your keyboard has been somewhat of a chore.

Google on Thursday updated Street View to allows users to move through the streets by double clicking on your mouse rather than using the arrow keys."

Twitter to Launch Verified Accounts: "There has been no systematic way for Twitter to verify that a celebrity tweeter was real. Until now, that is. Twitter has just announced a verified accounts beta program to make sure there are no more lawsuits of this nature."

ResourceShelf » Blog Archive » Audiobooks on iPods: Building a program for a research library: "Research libraries, with their in-depth collections that support research activities, have long collected print books and journals, and, in recent years, e-books and e-journals. E-books and e-journals enable researchers to locate and obtain information quickly and remotely at any time of the day or night; they have become especially popular over the past decade. On the other hand, audiobooks have not played a very important role in research libraries.

In July 2007, the Research Library at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) instituted an Audiobooks-on-iPods1 program using leadership and management audiobooks. NIST researchers enthusiastically embraced the program from its very first day. In its initial nine months, researchers checked out audiobooks six times more frequently than new print books."

Twitter for Libraries (and Librarians)

Twitter for Libraries (and Librarians): "For example, a library could share all kinds of news that patrons want. Short messages can tell people about events such as readings, lectures, and book sales; newly available resources; or changes in the building hours. One message a day or one a week could share a tip on finding or accessing information online or in the building. Twitter posts can link to interesting news stories about literacy or about libraries. When appropriate, the posts can link to a library’s own website and blog for more in-depth information."
