Wikipedia is an informational tool to find useful information... or not. Many things on Wikipedia are very helpful, and others not. There is very good information but sometimes you have to dig for it. There seems to be a lot of information, just make sure that the information is true and not someones opinion. For instance, I looked up how to use a slim jim ( Yeah, I locked my keys in my car... grrrrrrr), there was really only one good one that gave correct and not personal information ,and it said to call a locksmith(yeah thats great!). You can find some interesting things and facts, I just wouldnt rely on all the information for a report or school project. I posted my blog on pbwiki favorite blogs.

Del.icio.us is a tool that allows you to tag and catogorize your bookmarks, you can make your bookmarks by looking at what others have tagged and add new ones that others have convienently found for you. It could be a wide variety of things or very specific, users and catogorize how they want.

Technorati allows you to search for blogs. Pretty much any way that you want. You can search by what is most popular, by using one of their links, or do your own search, you dont know what you'll find.... i searched for "monkeys on the moon" there was 413 results!!!! Crazy! Who woulda thought? Then you can filter it even more by giving it restrictions. Like videos of monkeys on the moon... even more crazy.... http://www.technorati.com/videos/youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DwY6insZjCfU (monkeys on the moon video!!!!)

Web 2.0 is a great resource, especially now since everyone wants to have access to things online. It gives people information they want, who might not have access to a library. It also gives libraries a chance to offer different products and services that they might not have had before.
