Discover YouTube
YouTube is really fascinating and I often use it to post my favorite videos from Persian poets to the advice of the world's best spiritual masters to my Facebook account and share it with my freinds and family!:-D. It is one of the best tools of web 2.0 , easy to use and I love it.

Discover anysite from the Web 2.0 awards list
I chose imcookedwhich is a web community for video recepie sharing. You name it ,this site has it all with step by step videos in preparing the food. You can even film and upload a video and share it with others which I haven't done yet but I am planning to share some Persian recepie in the near future~:-)
I also chose revolution health which is very rich in all sort of health information features from conditions, diseases, healthy living,drugs, treatment and so on. It would be an excellent source to help our customers with all sorts of health questions.

Online productivity tools

I choose Google Doc for its powerful application. I have heard about it before but never had a chance to play with it. Since I have an gmail account I used the same account for this and created some documents on my favorite Persian poets and Shared it with my freinds on Google doc and my Facebook account. I think this is a wonderful tool and I will use it to keep track of my favorites things online. Thank you Google Doc.

Playing in the Maryland Sandbox

My experience with Wiki Sandbox (Maryland) was unsuccessful. I spent a good amount of time playing with Maryland wiki sandbox and I tried multiple times to login, and add my favorite web sites but there was no link.

Oh my dear Wiki....
I think Wiki is a wonderful tool for public libraries to educate their users about their resources and information. It is even more useful for internal use in libraries for planning and communication between staff. We have a Wiki at Olney library which is very informative and keeps staff with the latest library news and events, it encourage us to add content and exchange ideas on a different subjects. I like the SJCPL and Book lovers wikis for their simple structures and educational resources they provides to their communities. Wiki is a must for public libraries and it opens up a new possibilities for collaboration between libraries and their users.
