PBWiki

It was easy to register and access PBWiki. The potential is endless.

I did have a problem adding my blog name to the favorite blogs page. My blog did not appear as a link.

Wiki

The amount of information a wiki provides is unmeasurable. In addition, I like the fact that it is collaborative and forever being updated and changed. I use Wikipedia all the time.

A wiki could be useful for a library event. It would allow anyone involved to update and add information.

Web 2.0 Awards Winners

I selected and tried two music category entries. I investigated Last and Pandora. The music categories, music samples, and reviews were impressive.

Zoho Writer

The Zoho Writer is very similar to MS Word and is very easy to use. Also, I tested Zoho Sheet and found it to be very similar and as user friendly as Excel. I would recommend Zoho to anyone.

Delicious

When using Delicious for research you are not alone. Someone has already done the research or is doing it right along with you. The potential is endless.

The bookmark tool also has merit.
