There were some neat sites in the list of award winners but I must admit that I am not feeling patient enough to create any new user accounts! (The mapping sites which I was tempted to explore required accounts to see what others had done or to create one's own map/event/etc...)
I browsed Craig's list and was interested to see that there is a new "Western Maryland" geographical select available. Thought there wasn't as much stuff listed there as one can find in the metro DC or Baltimore areas.
Many of the other sites were interesting too, but after half an hour it is time to write this up and move on! (After bookmarking the list to Del.icio.us of course)
Although I don't feel like making any new accounts, being able to log in to a site and retrieve one's work is a really great function of the 2.0 sites. I'd love to see this integrated into the library catalog. I have nothing new to add to this discussion, but seeing patron reviews, being able to keep book lists (that the FBI couldn't play with?) and having the catalog show me what people who read this book are also reading - would be great. Perhaps it is already happening?
