YouTube

I think this site is fascinating. I've watched Susan Boyle win; I've seen cats doing hilarious things and laughed so hard; I've watched tutorials. This is one area that can be utilized by libraries. I've watched fingerplay tutorials so I'd know the tune and the movements for storytimes. Flannel board stories are easy to learn as well as string games. YouTube is a blast.

Award winners

It's a little funky to be able to manipulate photos and place Demi Moore's hair on Obama's head. But it's very, very disturbing. I learned to do this in the Hairmixer application.
I also looked at what can be done when you create your own comic strip. I think the average lay-person should probably not be doing this. Boring. The application is Comiqs.
Craigslist, however is a huge success story all by itself. Almosts no one looks in the newspaper anymore.

Wikis

Seems to me that wikis are useful in informal situations. I like the idea of a conference wiki because things change so quickly and multiple people can access and add. It doesn't seem helpful for the library sites, however. All that information for the library can be on their website and look cleaner with a better layout. But that's just me.

Future of 2.0

OCLC plans on making Worldcat searchable by anyone using 2.0 technology. That's pretty great. One world catalog accessible to any Joe Blow. I like it.

Technorati

If I ever need help making a plywood ukele OR if I'm into kitchen gadgets and want to view blogs of a similar madness, I know to go to Technorati. One of the demonstration videos on Technorati mentioned that the author checks the site at least 7 times a day. Well, I've got better things to do...there's a new kitchen store I want to visit.

13. Delicious, tagging

A tinyURL bookmark looks to be a handy thing. And this bookmark never falls out.
