thing 19: best of web 2.0

August 21st, 2008 · 5 Comments

This assignment asks us to look at the Web 2.0 Awards and pick a site/tool to play with. I looked at both this year’s and last year’s lists and couldn’t find anything that interested me that I hadn’t already tried or am using on a regular basis. I guess that’s one of the benefits (hazards?) of having a lot of twopointopian friends — I may not be on the bleeding edge of shiny new technology, but I can at least see the contrails.

    If you haven’t seen it yet, check out Wordle. A great toy…. And one I’m thinking of using in my writing classes.

    Oops, wrong link (my fingers got ahead of my week-before-classes brain)…. that should be wordle.net. Sorry!

    Twopointopian is a term that the Annoyed Librarian came up with, as far as I can tell. I use it jokingly and without the snark and bitterness s/he exudes.
