#14 Discovering more Web 2.0 tools

Throughout the course of this Learning 2.0 program we’ve explored just a small sampling of these Web 2.0 technologies that are empowering users with the ability to create and share content.
But given time there are so many more we could explore.
For this discovery exercise, participants are asked to select any site from this list of Web 2.0 Awards nominees and explore it.
Select a category that interests you (like Books or Personal Organization) and then simply select a tool/site to explore.
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.

Discovery Exercise:
  1. Select any site/tool from the list of Web 2.0 Awards nominees. (If you prefer to select from just the winners, here’s a link to the winners.)
  2. Explore the site you selected.
  3. 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?

Well, I thought I would try to map something, since maps are what I work with, but all I could see were where other people had been for their holidays, mostly in the USA again, of course. Tried frappr and Wayfaring, which really didn't let me in to create my own maps, and all roads seemed to lead back to Google maps - what else!
