Thing 19

What fun this was to see all of the Web 2.0 Award winners! I enjoyed playing until I realized how much time had slipped by! I mostly looked at sites that interested me personally, not professionally. I definitely agree that del.icio.us is an award winner. That was love at first site for me and it is already on my home computer and will be on my school computer when I get back to school. I also really love Flickr and have plans to use it personally and professionally frequently. Biblio.com was intriguing to me because on several occasions a frequently circulated book has been lost or loved to death and then to our horror it is now out of print and cannot be replaced. This site gives me the opportunity to buy a used, but hopefully in good condition, replacement of that well loved book. Im Cooked seemed interesting until I got into the site and realized that it was videos of others cooking--would rather just have the recipes. Urban Spoon however, is a great site to find new restaurants in my neighborhood. Upcoming.yahoo is great for finding events that are occurring withing the next six weeks, but not useful for long range planning. Finally I went to Yahoo!Answers--this was a fun site, but not authoritative answers for sure. It is in a blog format with people throwing in their thoughts on a particular answer. Fun to read, but not one that I would use for anything other than a good laugh.
