Re: [LM_NET] HIT: Best 2.0 Tool(s) This Year

[Naomi Bates <nbates@NISDTX.ORG>]

I try to keep up with the newest web 2.0 and see several I use during
workshops as well as personally.  What I noticed that neither list has
and is an AMAZING website is a flash-driven website:
www.wix.com

I creates amazing customized websites with templates and many other
options to make ordinary sites into amazing ones.  How is it web 2.0? 
You can share your log-in with others to create a website together, as
well as embed other web 2.0 items like blogs into it as well.  

The learning curve for this is moderate, and I've already created one
for myself as a "test".  But once you start, it does become addictive. 
In fact, I showed my husband how to make a simple website and we ended
up selling my old Honda for twice what a dealership would give us by
creating a website and posting it to Craigslist.  
Enjoy : )

Thanks to everyone who share some possible choices for the "Best 2.0
Tool(s)
for 2009."  While I have only a few to list, I wanted to mention that
Betsy
Ruffin's HIT that she posted last week also contains some wonderful
resources that you might want to consider using this fall.

Here's Betsy's HIT from the Archives (now):
*http://tiny.cc/IuDaE*<http://tiny.cc/IuDaE>

Here are your responses of what you believe are the Best 2.0 Tools for
2009:

Glogster
VoiceThread
SlideShare
Google Docs
iGoogle
Writeboard
Del.ic.ious
PB Works
Wikispaces
Jing
ZamZar
Audacity
Animoto
Twitter
Fliggo

I'll be ranking these (and others) for a "Top Ten" list for School
Library
Journal's August issue, so be sure to check the print or online version
to
find out what the final list might contain and how some librarians are
using
these programs.

Thanks again for your help!
