What’s it about? Last week while writing about ITunesU I stumbled across this website.  In a quick summary, it seems to be an amazon.com for audio and video products.  It bills itself as “…your one-stop destination for audio and video learning.  Browse over 20,000 educational audio books, MP3 downloads, podcasts, and videos.”

The home page features 16 different categories including business, educational and professional, and self-development.  The home page also presents a list of best sellers and link to new releases.

I went to the business section link and found 12 subcategories including business leaders, leadership and management, entrepreneurship, networking, economics, public speaking, negotiating and sales and marketing.  It also offers the top five best business sellers and a monthly free download book – this month it is the autobiography of old Ben Franklin.

Just for fun I linked to the kids section.  There are three categories for different age groups and a total of 13 subject matter categories.  Included are children’s literature and foreign language.  If you are a parent of a teen or younger I recommend that you check out this link.

There is also a weekly Blog feature that promotes products but seems to give good insight to subject matter, a sale section, and a free stuff section.  All-in-all it is an easy site to browse, offers a variety of formats and 20,000 items will keep you busy looking for just the right one.  Enjoy.

Catch you later.
