#19 Discover any site from the Web 2.0 awards list

Discovery Exercise:

1. Select any site/tool from the list of Web 2.0 Awards nominees. (If you prefer to select from just the winners, here’s a link to the short list.)

2. Explore the site you selected.

3. Create a post about your discovery. What did you like or dislike about the tool? What were the site’s useful features? Could you see any applications for its use in a library setting?

I'll be perfectly honest and admit I explored a few "fun" sites first. All work and no play at all makes "Johnny" a dull pirate. But then I looked at some of the categories to see what might be applicable for use in a library setting. The one I decided to explore a bit further was in the Content Aggregation and Management category...
Wufoo.com

This application allows you to design your own forms and surveys.... I think this would be good in terms of customer service, getting customer input, etc.

One of the example forms they gave was in terms of "Bug Tracker" -- which might be useful to our IT department.
