Item # 19 - discovering web 2.0 tools

Looking through the Web 2.0 awards for 2007 I was glad to see some of my favourites such as Librarything under "Books" and Blogline under the "Blog guides". Ma.gnolia.com is very similar to De.licio.us. I searched for the "Library 2.0' bookmarks and found a lot of good links to look at. For example an interesting article by David Lee King under the title "Am I a 2.0 librarian and the Library 2.0 Spectrum" (http://www.davidleeking.com/2007/08/01/am-i-a-20-librarian-and-the-library-20-spectrum).



What was amazing that when I checked the http://www.eventful.com/ - the world largest collection of events - I really found the information of an event in a city where I was born in a country that does not have a high percentage of Internet use at all. I bypassed the 'Cocktail builder' but became curious about the 'One sentence' http://www.onesentence.org/ that promises the whole story in one sentence. I was going to look for health tools and recognised some 'old friends' such as PBWiki and Zoho. Overall it was a joyful journey.
