With some silliness and some opening drama the New Year's Eve special of LISten is presented. This special is a wee bit longer than normal episodes and had to be posted later in the day due to post-production issues. Our top stories ranged from classification issues to rankings to music and more. Some picks of blogs and podcasts to follow in the new year were also presented. The series audio engineer also makes an appearance at the beginning.

As promised in the episode here are the links to blogs and podcasts highlighted:
Search Engine
WebbAlert
Mahalo Daily
The blog of Effinglibrarian
The blog of Librarian Woes

This week's episode is slightly short. Such may well make up for the length last week. The audio quality may be improved, too.

Our top story in hits this week related to Terry Pratchett. Cade Metz of The Register also reported in the past week. Our top story in comments related to a recent Library Student Journal announcement. Our top blog post in both categories was entitled simply: "Power Corrupts".
