I like YouTube. You can find things there that you thought you would never see again. I found a trailer for General Cinema Corporation from the 70's and I loved it. Library customers could find similar items. I tried to embed it a number of times but was unable. Something is different with the embed and it won't copy and paste the entire line, which is a shame. I'll provide a link below.

CML's 2.0 tools
I took a look at Stumble Upon from the Tool Box and signed up for it. It seems like a pretty interesting site. I might use it some in the future to find interesting web sites and see what interests some other people.
Web 2.0 Awards
I went to Last FM under music and looked around. It was interesting that you could meet different people with the same music interests and find out about music you might like that you hadn't heard of before. Could be used as a tool in the library for helping customers find out about other music they might enjoy and connect with other people, too.
google docs
I wouldn't use something like this; I just prefer to use what I have at home on my computer. Perhaps customers would want to use it so that they don't have to carry around a disc wherever they go that they want to work on it.

wikis 2
Never did manage to make any postings on the wiki thing! Tried for a couple hours and just couldn't get it to work.

wikis and such
I just love Wikis. Really I do. I read Wikipedia all the time. The only real potential problem with them is accuracy, and at times relevancy. I don't know how much the library would be able to use them - perhaps for book discussion groups or for people who wanted to share the kinds of books that they like to read.
