PANDORA INTERNET RADIO



Pandora Internet Radio is very cool. You type in an artist, and the station plays music from other artists who have similar styles. It's free and a great way to broaden your musical horizons.

WEB-BASED APPLICATIONS


I think Zoho and Google docs are wonderful resources. I like the idea of 'real time' changes, yet still being able to go back to previous documents. Accessing your documents at any time, on any computer is handy.

PB WIKI

I logged on to rockymountain23things but didn't see much. I'm receiving all kinds of email saying the site has been updated, but not seeing much on the site itself.

What's in a Wiki?


I like the concept of collaboratively developing a web site, because it's a great way to update information. I do see the negative side of those who may change information or add something that may not be accurate or appropriate (Wiki-Wars). How do you know if the information you're reading is factual? I think the best option would be to read wiki's that are only open to specific groups; people who know what they're writing about.

LIBRARY 2.0



Dewey Decimal, Dewey Decimal, where art thou Dewey Decimal? With technology changing so rapidly, I think it's a huge challenge to keep information updated. A person could work 24/7 and not be able to keep up. The changes I've seen in the last 50 years (okay, 51) are incomprehensible. I can't imagine the changes to come in the future.

Technorati

With over 50 millions blogs being tracked, this site is overwhelming. The amount of information is tremendous, but I suppose you must sort through everything to decide what is valuable to you and what is not. I think it's interesting how Technorati analyzes trends and themes in the blogosphere.

Del.icio.us


Social bookmarking for sharing links....I just checked out Carol's account. I'm sure this is wonderful for research and more direct than a search engine. If others have tagged articles they must have found them valuable.
