# 19 Discovering web 2.0 tools

These tools are certainly enabling users to create and share content online. I looked in the winners category for the web 2.0 awards. The city guides grabbed my attention, although the three winners, Yelp, Judy's book and yahoo local were all based on American cities. These guides are a great idea where anyone can add favourite city sights, local facilities and favourite restaurants with reviews.

Eventful however was more relevant as it is worldwide and had a great variety of upcoming events in the three Australian states that I looked at, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. Not only the usual upcoming music events are listed but charity functions, learning and educational events as well as politics and activism events.

# 17 sandbox wiki

I added my blog to the plmc learning favourite blog page under the mornington peninsula library heading. I added my favourite restaurant to the favourite restaurant wiki and enjoyed exploring other favourite sites, especially The Bull Run Library wiki. I have even created my own wiki and added a slide show of my flickr photos. Here is the link.
