I browsed through the You Tube Video list. A varied selection, lots to choose from, great humour. Now I understand the time spent by our library patrons. Click on the link above to review how to roast pumpkin seeds with Leah on Mahalo Daily.

Thing #19 CML's Toolbox of Web 2.0 Tools

I downloaded the CML Library toolbar from the Power Tools Page for Internet Explorer users and browsed through the tools. I added a comment to the Gmail discussion, but accidentally posted anonymously. A co-worker invited me to share websites from the StumbleUpon site, so I applied for an account and completed the interest survey. I soon learned that StumbleUpon is similar to commercials that completely take up the whole screen until you decide to change the channel. The nice thing is you can decide when it's time for another commercial. Today when I signed in, the Power Tools toolbar and the StumbleUpon signal were gone from the toolbar.

Thing #18 Discovering Web 2.0 tools

I selected Guides and Reviews from the Web 2.0 Awards nominees. In
Third Place is CitySearch, which is available on the Columbus Metropolitan Library website. This site provides links to other cities and and an alphabetical list of categories for people looking to relocate or people new to the neighborhood, ranging from Alternative Medicine to Real Estate to Travel. If your evening or weekend plans include a movie, check the Box Office Rankings, Showtimes and New Releases. Don't forget how important it is to budget for Spa treatments, yoga, beauty salons and health clubs.
Check What's Hot This Week to see who is at the Palace Theatre, or Value City Arena or the newest exhibit at the Columbus Museum of Art or the Wexner Center. Looking for Indian food, or pizza/Italian cuisine, or Chinese fare? Search the Restaurants menu from the CitySearch toolbar to find your favorite eatery or plan a visit to a new one. YOU can also read and write restaurant reviews.

Getting everyone in the office to sign a birthday card can be frustrating, time consuming and sometimes impossible. To solve this dilemma, use the Pass-Around-Birthday Card.

Use this template to make recipe cards, which can be passed down to future generations. This would be great for groups who share recipes and meal planning. They could centralize the recipes, then decide which ones they could use for office parties, tail gating, picnics, family reunions, and holidays.
