Thing #22: The Best of Web 2.0

"... what is life, Mira, when you come to think upon it, but a most excellent, accurately set, infinitely complicated machine for turning fat playful puppies into old mangy blind dogs, and proud war horses into skinny nags, and succulent young boys, to whom the world holds great delights and terrors, into old weak men, with running eyes, who drink ground rhino-horn?"

These sites are recognized for offering users ways to personalize, organize, and share web content. Some tools might be useful for the Library (some, like GoogleDocs, we are already using)-- I'm thinking the city guides, the communication tools, Wufoo for feedback, and the feed managers (if the Library web page will have local feeds).

Personally, I love Pandora and the Music Genome Project. TheBroth, "a virtual library of online art," is interesting; Zillow is depressing (the condo we rent could probably be ours for only $909,075).
