Web 2.0 Awards List - Craigslist (Thing #19)

I chose Craigslist from the list of winners of the WEb. 2.0 Awards. This site offers a tremendous amount of classifieds information. It would be very useful to a reference librarian helping customers researching jobs, housing, or community activities in any state in this country, as well as many other countries. The site is intuitive and easy to navigate.

Online Productivity Tools (Thing #18)

I like Zoho Writer - it seems to have all the features of Word and more. It's nice that you can save documents to the site and access them from any computer, without having to attach files to an e-mail account. I also like that you can post documents to a blog from here.

Learning 2.0 Sandbox Wiki (Thing #17)

I added my blog to the library's sandbox. The PB Wiki Tips site would be very helpful in creating or editing a wiki. This was an interesting thing to learn about, but at this point I don't see that I would have a need for it.
