17--LIBWORM

LibWorm is basically a purpose built search engine consisting of links to other sites of the same genera. This would be great for commercial use. the links would be found on the same Internet as you would normally access. So whats the point? speed, it's faster I have not been impressed at all with LibWorm.

10--STAFF--NING

Ning a networking site(yet another) i can hardly remember which one is which. I have visited the staff Ning numerous times and found it to be quite accommodating. obviously Ning is good for institutional use. Users can post a comments, give and receive feedback as well as post photos and blogs. This could be a very useful networking tool (and if you consider yourself to be very important) personal use also. One thing that i do not like are the google adds, i recognized one in particular as a known scam!(the one claiming of the riches to be made posting web sites on Ning's sponsor, google) shame on google! From my limited knowledge of this site I would describe Ning as a mix of blogging and Facebook.

11--MEEBO-- INSTANT MESSAGING

Meebo is a site that lets the user go to different "rooms" and share information. I like the posibilitys for information sharing, meebo would be great for institutional as well as personal use. The rooms are accsessable easy to navegate and easy to return to and save Athough Meebo seems to be poluted with mindless chatter. I think the possibilitys are great.

12--TWITTER

Twitter: all i can say is big deal! the distinguishing characteristic of twitter are negative at best. You have limited space for a web site address? limited space for text? -please! with these limitations how can Twitter compete with other sites of this type? or, maybe I'm just missing the point.

16--LIBRARY-THING

Library Thing seems like a tagging web site to share thoughts and opinions about books and movies, in addition one can catalog ones own personal collection. I think this would be a great networking tool for library patrons. Staff could also benifit by comunicating with other libraries. This site reminds me of my amazon account except with all the bells and whistles included.

14--DELICIOUS

Delicious seems to be like having your own internet! so far it seems very user friendly and easy to navigate. One thing i particularly like is the ability to save only one area of a website, an example would be The Weather Channell, one can save just local weather rather than the whole site. Delicious is yummy so far!...
