Twitter

I liked the idea that a tweet is restricted to 140 characters - that keeps the long-winded and chatterbox types honest! Sometimes too, that concise piece of information can pique your interest in a subject, rather than long-winded chattering which turns me off.

LibraryThing

This was an interesting site and I found it relatively user-friendly. It's a site that I think some of our customers might find useful - I have a few friends who are always asking about "good reads" so it's a site I could direct them to. Personally, I doubt if I would have time to use it myself.

Online Productivity Tools.

I chose Google Docs and found that it was very easy to use. It's certainly a tool that would be useful for those who only need to use this type of application infrequently- and free, too. I liked the feature that allowed you to view your documents online from any computer and also the fact that Google Docs is available anywhere that the Internet is available - for instance, some public terminals I have used do not have Microsoft Office loaded. The calendar would be much more useful for someone who is working most often at a desk. I need to stick to the "old fashioned" paper calendar as I'm always moving around and not often near a computer more than once a day, if that.

Flikr &YouTube

Well, if I could use Flikr and YouTube without much thought or effort, they must be user-friendly!
I could see that Flikr might be useful to me in a couple of ways - searching for photos on a certain topic and editing photos. I'm not sure that I need to use YouTube - a lot like America's Funniest Home Videos, which I don't watch and too many people sharing too much poor-quality material that I don't need to see.
