Web 2.0 Tools

After going to the Award Winning Web 2.o sites, I discovered I'm a creature of habit. Instead of branching out and finding new hobbies or making new friends, I went for the tried and true. I loved the Stumbleupon site because I found some wonderful new pictures for a slide show on my computer screen saver. The same with Flickr and Picnik. Lulu was interesting. I especially liked the make your own calendar part.
Many of them seemed for very specific purposes. There are ones about parenting, diabetes, fixing technology, etc. As a librarian, I wonder about the reliability of some of these. If you are trying to fix a car and they tell you all wrong........
It is interesting to see what's out there. If I get adventurous, I might sign up for the My Heritage site and find some relatives. I would think twice about recommending them to patrons, tho.

I am also a creature of habit - especially when it comes to bamboo branches. Yum, Yum, all this talk about branching out has worked up my appetite. I love your lighthouses!
