I always find it very odd to hold your animal up and parade him/her around the internet like a prized possession or dearly beloved child. So, I'm not really into the animal sites.
I found the Bluffing/Trivia site to be rather cute; but testing your own gullibility only stays so fun for so long.
The puzzle website is by far my favorite. Games are always a plus for me; even old fashioned word games. All of these sites were new to me, so it was an interesting week's course.

Week 6
The Wikimapia was fascinating, to me. Every bit of information in the world involves a certain place. Wikimapia just seems to give a little more visual information for everything that might already be in Wikipedia.
Book Mooch seems to be the only library application I'd make a lot of use out of. It's a fantastic idea. When people are no longer making use of the information they have, they should pass it on to someone else (and enjoy the same courtesy.) I like that concept.
The only library application I can think of that I didn't see in the Course would be Netlibrary; NOT the one that OCLS provides.

Week 4
I explored (of the web2.0 award categories) music, video, and maps:
Music - Highest rated was Pandora, which did not surprise me. I am an avid user of that website.
Video - Youtube, of course. Almost disappointing, as it is so well known.
Maps - Google maps got #1. I love google maps. I'll look at satellite maps just for fun.
I was not surprised to find that the library had implanted itself in so many popular information venues on the internet. If places are popularized enough, then it will make for a great spot to provide info about OCLS.
RSS feeds were a new subject matter for me. I found them interesting but not preferable to simply finding my daily info-sources. My favorite web2.0 application so far has been the blog. I have now made a personal blog for my artwork, since web2.0 required me to learn how to make one.

Week 3 : The Downfall of Zombie Kind
In light of recent tragedies and their complete lack of relation to this blog, I will be forced to leave zombies without their #1 source for organized havoc.
With that loss, the most I can report on is the RSS experience in this last course. I don't much enjoy RSS feeds. I take pride in searching the net freely. From scratch. I enjoy searching.
