Zoho writer
I think this is one of the best web sites online for students, or anyone that uses multiple computers to write assignments. I think it will be very useful for me in the future, since I do my homework on a few different computers, depending on where I am. Its so easy to use, its just like using Word.
NSUlibs wiki
I tried to add my blog to the nsulibs favorite blogs page, but I couldn't, everytime I tried to, it said "error on page." So I created this blog post to show that I tried, but for some reason could not complete the task.
Wikis
Wiki's are an interesting new kind of resource that can definately be used easily by libraries, to improve accessability of information. They are king of an encyclopedia for various topics, and ideas. Libraries can use wiki's to have user guides for different types of databases and resources, subject guides, outreach ideas and information, programming ideas and information, etc.
Perspectives on Library 2.0
The Library 2.0 movement is a new and exciting way of integrating Web 2.0 technology. Using web 2.0 technology, people can easily and quickly find a larger variety of information from a more diverse selection of resources. It also allows users to connect with other people to share information that is similar, or to find people that might be used in networking.

Technorati
I liked this site because it was easier to use to find blogs, and blog posts than was the bloglines site. The top searches were pretty strange, most were pretty basic things like environment, men, google, but the ones that suprised me were the searches for people I've never heard of like "kerry howley". Atleast I think that is a person. Oh well. It was interesting to use, and I think I will be exploring it further in my free time.
Delicious
After exploreing the Delicious site, I found it to be a great tool to use, especially if you use multiple computers. Its a great way to keep bookmarks organized and allows easy access to them from virtually anywhere. I will probably use this tool frequently in the future.
