Thing #19: Your Choice!

Thing #19: Your Choice!

Throughout the course of this Learning 2.0 program we’ve explored just a small sampling of 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. 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 Thing #19:

1) 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. (Here's the short list if you'd prefer it.) 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.

2) Explore your selection and 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?
