Week 4: So much to explore!

What would we do without the Internet? I don't know about you, but I'm completely hooked. The sites we had to check out this week only re-energized my addiction. There's so much cool stuff out there!

LetterJames - fun. Not all that helpful for work stuff, but fun nonetheless.
Flickr Toys - So many cool things to do with your images. I want to make a puzzle! I find the list of top digital cameras interesting, but I have to keep reminding myself that it's not a ranking of the best cameras on the market, but just the most popular ones used to take pics that end up on Flickr.
LibraryThing - A neat way to get our library out there. Just out of curiosity, how much activity do we see on our LT page?
Rollyo - This seems useful if you wanted to set up a very specific search. I don't see myself using it. I'll stick with Google.
Jott & RememberTheMilk - Cool in theory but it seems like it would take longer to set up the programs than it is worth. I'm going to stick with the old post-it system.
Live Mocha - I took the test and was recommended for French 202. I'm pretty sure that's the same class I barely got through my freshman year of college. I may have maxed out my foreign language capacity. Very cool site though!
Web 2.0 Award Winners - I'm definitely going to spend some more time checking these out. I took a brief look around and discovered Farecast. What a cool site! It tells you whether plane tickets will go up or down in price and when you should buy. Looks like I'll be waiting a while to buy tickets to Vegas for March. I'm also liking what I see at UrbanSpoon. I found more info about Mezzanine in Carytown from this site than I did from a Google search. I love restaurant feedback. I'm going to use this in conjunction with my one of my other favorite sites Chowhound.
