I really enjoyed sifting through the list of web 2.0 award winners. I checked out MANY of these sites. Pandora Radio is now my favorite internet radio station - I tune in all the time - it is a lot of FUN! If I was single, I thought the Last.FM site could be a perfect tool for the next rage in internet dating - finding potential mates based on the music they listen to! Sounds like a perfect match to me. I already used Craigslist a lot - it definitely is easy to use - easy to find stuff & relatively easy to post on too.
My greatest discovery from this "thing" was the site "Upcoming.org". It is a Yahoo based website that allows you to post up coming events you may wish to publicize for free. Since it is a Yahoo site you do need to be registered with them (I already had one from previously), this is easy to do. Then you just fill in the fields with necessary info and add pics if you want (pretty easy to do except you may need to format original to square size for best results). It will automatically generate a beautiful listing complete with map and directions to your event. I have used this site now a couple of times to publicize the events for the guitar shop. It works pretty slick - It is easy to use & FREE! Also, since it is a Yahoo based site many times a search in a search engine will pull up your results in the first page - a good thing for a new business starting out! I will definitely use it again for any future events. I think the library should consider using it for any events it has.
