Week 4 -- For fun

I enjoyed this weeks exercise because it offered a nice variety of Web 2.0 applications.

I checked out the society's page on Library Thing and saw how great a resource that could be for others in the library world. All of our recent and future library accessions available for the searching public in one easy-to-use site. Nothing like improving access to the VHS's collections.

Rollyo is a great idea! Being able to search my own custom-made list of sites from one simple search engine is a wonderful idea. The convenience of one-stop shopping for information rather than going to each and every site individually is very attractive.

For the person who had trouble remembering what errand they need to run on their way home or what they need to pick up at the grocery store, Jott.com is a great tool. I even added it to my iPhone for free. For me it is trying to remember the author of a book that I need to find at the bookstore. Now that won't be a problem anymore.

I also ventured into FD's Flickr Toys and created a jigsaw puzzle out of a photograph I took while on vacation in England. Again, I found the application easy to use and am sure there are alot more things I could do with images.

Livemocha.com looks like a great way to learn a foreign language. I should try out my Spanish to see how much I have forgotten since college.
