Thing 23

23. This is the end (or the beginning) of my introduction to Web 2.0 applications.

I now fully appreciate the interactive element of blogging for each of the 23 Things. This practice is a fantastic way to store thoughts and links to share with others.

Yes, I would like to participate in future tutorials like this one!

Thing 22

22. E-books are slowly becoming easier to use and acquire. However, I've yet to meet someone who actually prefers to read from a screen rather than paper. I'm sure this will change soon enough?

Librivox is a site I found that offers free audio literature of public domain works! Their selection is presently limited, although they appear to be growing slowly. It's certainly a respectable project.

Thing 21

21. Here is a link to the Steve Pavlina Podcast dedicated to personal development for smart people. There is also a link on the Blogroll. Scoff or Enjoy!

Thing 20

20. Youtube is full of time-wasting fun. It's a great place to see music videos of your favorite artists...

Thing 19

19. Library Thing is a progressive tool for anybody who loves books and Web 2.0 technology. Hopefully there are more and more of these kinds of peeps? The great thing I discovered is that you can create book lists and post them very easily onto a blog or website using their widget maker. See column to the right for an example.

Thing 18

18. Zoho is pretty cool... free everything you need and totally online! This presentation was whipped-up real quick and is only an example of zoho potential, albeit a poor example.

Things 16-17

16. Wikis are going to be a great tool for libraries as they move into the 2.0 realm. Librarians and library patrons alike will be able to create the evolving online resources provided by the library website. I look forward to seeing and using more of this great concept.

17. Kicked off the Favorite Blog Wiki and dropped my favorite sci-fi book in the appropriate section.
