#17 Sandbox Wiki
I actually did this exercise several days ago and forgot to post it to my blog. I added my name to the 2.0 Sandbox wiki. You will see in my above posting my blogspot sandbox wiki address.
#16 Wikis
I found this to be of great interest. I liked the way you could go in and see what other library systems were doing and what people had to say about various library related topics. I visited the Library 2.0 in 15 minutes a day and also Library Success a best practices Wiki. I can see where this could really get a lot of discussion going within systems by putting something innovative out to a large group of people who have something invested in getting both pros and cons of software, programs, policies and procedures.

#15 Few Perspectives on Web 2.0 and Future
Although I agree that the children of today will probably change the look of the library totally since they have been raised on electronics by watching TV many more hours then children raised say back before 1980-1990 and by computer games, etc. I still think that your greater population using the library today and probably for the next maybe 20 years are not as computer saavy and perhaps only by forcing them to become you find more people going to book stores like a Barnes and Nobles where they can browse, sit down and possibly buy or perhaps decide to visit their local library instead of purchasing an item that they may read once and then find difficulty in what to do with when finished.
#14 Technorati and how tags work
I didn't realize until I got into Technorati that I had already visited this website doing an earlier exercise. Again, I guess it was just showing another way of getting information and I might possibly visit this website in the future as I did visit familyfun.com and look at recipes but I could also just get the magazine. If I had nothing better to do with my time I might spend more time wandering around if I was bored and didn't have a good book to read or people I enjoy being in their company.

#13 Learn about tagging abd Del.icio.us
I visited this website but did not find it to be something that I would be interested in looking and signing up or into. I really would rather find out about something by discussing with a friend or group of people in person. I like knowing a person or someone who knows them in order to put much stock into how they feel about something or somebody.
Possibly if I was a college student writing a paper I may find this of some use but where I'm coming from in life I do not feel that I will ever use this.

#20 You Tube
I was very pleased that I was able with the assistance of Andrea at Fallston to post this to my blog. I tried to put House but it was just too difficult. I appreciate the help that I was able to get from one of my former co-workers. I hope that someday I will be able to do something to assist her.

I tested this out, saw how it worked and didn't find it useful since you can use favorites right on your home page.
