Web 2.0 Award winners

This was a fun list to look through. Two special favorites are imcooked and guess-the-google.

Guess the Google is a game built on a google image aggregator. It presents a montage of google image results and asks you to guess what the search term was that led to them. It's a good brain exercise if nothing else and highlights some of the fun "unintended" results of Web 2.0 technology and its evolution.

Im cooked is a subject specific content collection of user made cooking shows! This is so great for someone like me who sometimes doesn't quite "get" the instructions in a recipe and could benefit from seeing exactly what poaching an egg looks like. In addition to simple cooking processes like these there are lots of entire recipes demonstrated, in cooking show style, with youtube-ish production values. It's fun to poke around in if you're a foodie.

Sara also had a super cool idea while doing her 23 things assignment this week. She suggested the library have a contest to make a song and a video promoting the library to appear on our myspace page! I love it. I suggested she pitch it to Nicole, who seems to really be looking for people's feedback and ideas on how to improve things.
