More Cool Sites
Vimeo, Pandora and Europa Film Treasures are just another three great sites to add to my ever-growing collection. Vimeo seems like a nice alternative to YouTube. The layout is appealing/user friendly, the quality of the videos is much better than those on utube, and there seems to be a lot less advertisement, if any. I guess the one drawback would be that videos on Vimeo probably get less exposure than those on utube. It all depends on what one is looking for--quality vs. quantity. I love the fact that when I returned to Pandora after several days, the site began playing one of my favorite Sting songs. That you can just plug in a genre of music is another great feature. Something I remembered when I first opened up the site is that my friend Elizabeth has Pandora on her iphone (lucky woman). Finally, browsing through the vintage films on Europa was pretty awesome. I was surprised by the high quality of some of those old films and enjoyed watching a few snippets of foreign films.

Here is that iphone envy I was looking for! Nice coverage of the sites. You should be putting live links in your blog posts so that your readers can get to the sites you are talking about without having to google them. I know where they are, but it is a simple thing to add the links in the link box and have people just be able to click on them.
