#19 Discovering Web 2.0 tools
[Sorry, no podcast for this "thing." You'll have to exercise your eyes instead.]
Throughout the course of this Learning 2.0 program we’ve explored just a small sampling of these new internet technologies and websites that are empowering users with the ability to create and share content. But given time there are so many more we could explore. Current estimates place the number of web 2.0 tools at somewhere between 300 & 500 with only a handful emerging as market dominators. And although time will only tell which of these new collaborative, social networking and information tools will remain on top, one
thing is for sure, they're not going to go away (at least anytime soon).
For this discovery exercise, participants are asked to select any site from this list of Web 2.0 Awards nominees and explore it. With so many to choose from, it might be handy to first select a category that interests you (like Books or Personal Organization) and then simply select a tool/site to explore. Be careful to select a tool that is Free and that doesn't require a plug-in or download. The majority of these free, so this shouldn’t be a problem.
Discovery Exercise:
Web 2.0 – with so much to explore, just start with ONE. :)

Discovery Exercise:
- Select any site/tool from the list of Web 2.0 Awards nominees. (If you prefer to select from just the winners, here’s a link to the short list.)
- Explore the site you selected.
- Create a post about your discovery. What did you like or dislike about the tool? What were the site’s useful features? Could you see any applications for its use in a library setting?

Okay, I already have experience with some of these tools. My favorite, of course, is Facebook, because I'm a recent college grad and we used it all the time when I was in school. I still use it as a way to talk to my friends. I "facebooked" somebody yesterday, as a matter of fact. It's a lot like MySpace, but cleaner, if that makes any sense. Recently, changes were made to Facebook that changed it a good bit, most think for the worst. Best part is, any company can get on Facebook, just enter your work email address and set yourself up an account. Then, you can search for others that work in your same company. It's a way to keep up with coworkers, gossip, etc., even when you're not at work. Facebook is easily assessible from home, wherever you are. It's also a lot of fun. Anyone who has not been to Facebook should seriously consider it. I love it. If you get an account, "friend" me!
