7) Yet another golden goody from our favorite source is Talkster, an intriguing site which claims to offer no-strings-attached free calling between residents of 29 different countries. Ostensibly, you input the phone numbers of each of the parties on their website, and you receive local numbers which you can use to place these individual calls.

8) The final borrowing from Fred's Head Companion, at least for the moment, is News Clipper, a site where news stories from seven different television networks are aggregated. You can search for news stories, or see how the same story is covered by different networks.

14) Main Menu, ACBRadio's weekly technology program, is alive and well. However, the timing of their program announcements does not allow the information to be included in Tidbits before the programs are aired. These days, the shows are archived quickly. Hence, recent editions of the program available online feature an interview with Jim Fruchterman regarding Bookshare and other Benetech initiatives for the blind, a discussion of the new MacBook Air laptop from an accessibility perspective, information concerning updates and new products from T&T Consultancy, information about and a demonstration of the new KNFB Mobile Reader; and a discussion and demonstration of new features available in System Access.

Hence, it's supposed to find other music that you will like. You can listen to snippets of some of the songs it finds.

Feel free to forward individual Tidbits, or the entire tidbits issue, to interested people (but make sure they don't already receive it; a lot do!) When doing this, please have the courtesy to cite your source, perhaps directing them to the tidbits website (see below.)

Tidbits is intentionally concise, but I know a lot of people don't understand many of the items because little explanation is given. If a Tidbit brings up a question in your mind, feel free to ask, and I'll answer as time, knowledge and inclination permit.

Visit the Tidbits page at http://www.topdotenterprises.com/tidbits.htm where you can subscribe to the RSS feed and grab back issues. All that welcome information for future issues can come to me at dean@topdotenterprises.com.
