#20: YouTube

While I have watched YouTube videos before, this is the first time I've posted it anywhere. It wasn't hard to do, although I only found out later that you have to customize before you get the full code for embedding (thanks to the Help button).

I chose this because I like animations, and this is one of the ones that I like. (Although it reminds me that I ought to visit a dentist sometime soon-ish...)
Application of YouTube in a library setting? We could do a clip of a quick tour of each branch I suppose... and... a clip to show patrons how to reserve a computer?

3 more things to go now!

#19: Web 2.0 Tools

Browsed through the Shortlist of the Web 2.0 Awards...

I'm interested in food, so here's two that I visited:
CocktailBuilder looks like a cool site - you could search for recipes on there using what you have on hand, there were also useful options like a folder for the drinks you like.
Urbanspoon is a restaurant finder with ratings and user reviews for major cities, mostly in America unfortunately.

Omnidrive - basically an online drive which "allows you to aggregate not only all your desktop files, but all your files and data from different web applications", keywords being Access, Integrate, Share & Publish

Lots of tools on the shortlist in various categories, this is something I would definitely have a look at later, just to see what's out there.

#18: Zoho and online productivity tools

Zoho and GoogleDocs seem pretty much the same. One thing I didn't know about was the option of giving presentations over the net (live) - how cool is that? I think these online productivity tools would be really helpful for people working on projects as a group, so I guess in a way it's promoting collaboration.
