THE END...

some of my favourite discoveries in web 2.0 were flickr, rss and librarything. quite a few of the things i already use a fair bit so it was good to learn something new.
i think its a really good idea for library staff to learn these new things, as many of them were things you wouldnt just "come across", and would be quite useful. its always good to have a bit of general knowledge about web based applications to make it easier if patrons have questions, but then again, theres so much to learn...it would be impossible to know it all. but all up i think web 2.0 gives you a good head start.

DOWNLOADABLE AUDIO BOOKS

i had a look at the world ebook fair site, theres so much there to look at. im amazed that it's free, or cheap. this is a great idea, people should really know about it, i didnt realise it was so accessible. i would love having ebooks on my ipod to listen to at the gym etc.

PODCASTS

podcasts are cool. i use them for uni lectures if i dont want to go. i added a podcast to my bloglines account about arts and entertainment. this could be useful to keep libraries up to date with news, and be selective about what they want to get.

YOU TUBE IS FUN

youtube is the ultimate time waster. awesome for finding bits of movies, music videos and just random funny stuff.

WEB 2.0 AWARDS LIST

i went straight to the winners section and had a look at cocktail builder! ive seen sites like this before but this one is pretty cool. i especially like the section where you can add the ingredients you have at home and it gives you a list of drinks you can make! it also has a function where you can print out a menu for your party of all the drinks you can make! mmm cocktails! :)

ONLINE PRODUCTIVITY - ZOHO WRITER

i like the idea of zoho writer because being able to access documents online from any computer could be really useful...like saving my uni work on it if i have to use a public access computer somewhere and dont have any way to transport the document etc. saves me having to email documents to myself, good to have another place to store things in case my computer dies. which happens too often for my liking....
