#20 You to can can You Tube

This site is endless, so much to look at. I like video tutorials, for many people this would be a popular way of learning things, rather than reading a text.
I looked at lots of different things from chihauhaus to my favourtie TV shows.

#19 Web 2.0 Awards

I checked out some book sites - nanny's web, a local bookseller of secondhand books & also a vintage cookbook site. I wanted to make some purchases!!

#18 Online Productivity

Web-based applications eliminate the need to worry about different software versions or file types as you email documents or move from P.C to P.C. Zoho writer is a very easy to use free online word processor. I had no problems creating a document using Zoho writer. Zoho Writer is quite impressive, can be used from any internet terminal and very easy to use.

#17 Playing around with PBWIKi

# 14 Technorati

Technorati is the leading search tool and authority for blogs. Its quite overwhelming - The purpose of this web tool to to track blogs using "keywords" & "tags" - every minute of the day, 365 days a year. I looked at the "100 most popular blogs by fans", included in this list are such blogs as "Boing Boing" & at number 6 - "Mashable", a leading technical blog focused on WEB 2.0!!

# 16 Wiki's

I enjoyed this topic. I can see both the pros and cons of wiki's, but I think overall they are a really useful tool. I thought maybe doing something like an online bookclub attached to our libarys main home page would be a great idea.
I really liked looking at the "Book lover Wiki", reading all the reviews and other peoples book suggestions.

# 15 Web 2.0 & Library 2.0

Its obvious the way we are heading is all about "on-line" accessabilty. Collections in the tradional forms will be replaced with "e-books" etc ... I think to we need to embrace these changes or libraries will become no-go places.
(Me personally, would much prefer to cuddle up with a good old-fashioned paper book rather than my computer!!)
I think its also really important to make all these new technological changes as user-friendly as possible, both for patrons and staff.
