#16 Wikipedia

I lust this site. I'm always interested in current events, history, and everything in between. Wiki comes in handy if I just need to be "hip" to the game on certain things. I do feel there is some biased involved, but we cannot be unquestionably neutral no matter what. The term "Fair and Balanced" comes into mind. Nonetheless it is an immensely addicting site to be on. Whether I'm "learning" fact or some one's opinion is a whole other matter.

#15 Future of Libraries

I once read that we will move into a paperless society within 20 years time. This was a few years ago. While I could picture that happening in the coming future it's hard to fathom it occurring that soon. If it happens libraries will have to move into different services.

I don't see us completely abandoning books, especially considering much of the developing world is still, well developing. There will always be a need for books, magazines and other media, much of it will be available electronically.

In the past ten years I have seen libraries change dramatically. It went from a place that you could not talk loud in, to a place where there are vending machines and DVD rentals. We'll just have to evolve with the times.

#14 Technorati

I found this to be a helpful site to collect blogs. Generally I see blogging as a great way for individuals to voice their opinions. To have a collection of blogs accessible from one general location makes it that much more beneficial.

A disadvantage of becoming a member and having your blog "tagged" could compromise your identity easily if you post enough information about yourself. Overall, it is worth the inherent "risk."

#13 Tagging...

No not on the side of a building(that doesn't happen in the South Bay does it?). You know the way to organize your bookmarks and make life easier.

Here's how I see it. If you spend a good amount of time on the internet and your school work or employment is internet based, this would be an extremely useful tool. For the average joe like myself who gets on a computer to use wikipedia, or find out the meaning of a word from dictionary.com it could make your life more difficult trying to sift through the few pages you "organized."

#11 Web 2.0 Award Sites

It's crazy how much there really is on the internet. There were a few familiar sites such as myspace.com, friendster.com, craigslist, youtube, google, etc. The real exciting stuff was the fact that there is life outside of these sites.

I found it useful to be able to stray from the status quo pages and see a plethora of things available right at my fingertips.
