Rollyo

Rollyo was fun, but I'm a little disappointed that someone who just wants to come in and edit my searchrolls is able to. Other than that, it's a great search engine I can customize to trusty sites!

LibraryThing

Wow! What a way to catalog books you've read and loved, authors' additional works, and your comments about them. You can spiff up your personal page with photos, links, and messages on what you think and how you think about your choices of books.

Summary

I have to admit I was a little skeptical, at first, about Web 2.0. However, I discovered that these free resources are an amazing way to collect, share, and organize information in an exciting way. Essentially, I believe that the things that Web 2.0 consist of are only going to make libraries more useful. We will be using our own resources to help the public have access to the tools of Web 2.0.
