I had a great time investigating the online calendars, lists, etc. Plenty of extremely neat things out there. Awhile back I created an iGoogle account, and had fun personalizing it. Incredibly easy to do, too. Because I'm a Google fan, I choose Google calendar for this thing. Easy, liked it. Went back into it and edited some entries with no problem at all. I can see myself using this handy dandy tool.
Like I've mentioned before, I'm a big list maker. So, I was very interested in exploring the online list tools. Remember the Milk is a cool name, so I picked that one to look at. I think I'll stick with my primitive paper lists, but I can definitely understand the appeal of using the online tools especially if you're attached to your blackberry or cell at the hip. Backpack looked pretty neat and appeared to have application in the workplace. I can see people using it for meetings, sharing info -- kinda like wikis. Didn't get into Zamzar. Am sure I could figure out ways that it would be helpful to patrons, but kinda lost interest.
I spent some time looking at the Online Education Database (or Top 25 Web 2.0 Apps...) and found the list to be pretty impressive and useful. I can definitely see students utilizing the various tools.
