TravBuddy Maybe you just want to share advice about a local restaurant you enjoy, or perhaps you discovered an amazing new place to watch the sunset, right in your hometown. This site has some pretty cool features. If you are looking for a place to to create a travel blog, meet with other travelers, locate free, fun travel games to upload to your Facebook or MySpace account, or check out hotel prices and deals, this is the place. You do need to register to access certain pages of the site but there is a lot there to peruse. I am planning a " Sisterhood" getaway to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in 2009 for my siblings and some close friends, so this sight will be quite useful during my planning process.
To quote Michael Stephens, "...Web 2.0 is open, participatory and social.." Though I was somewhat hyper about delving into a realm where I was seriously inept, the past month has been a time of discovery, enrichment, enlightment and fun as I have embraced the Web 2.0 paradigm. What I learned during the process was that I had been using some of the technology all along. After I created my first ever, blog, I was hooked. Why did I wait so long to be a little creative. I have shared my blog with family and friends that live in various parts of the country, but I can use Library Thing for my teen reader's advisory, or create a group for discussion on Facebook if our TAB members are online. I can also use this technology to keep my co-workers informed about teen programs, school assignment alerts, or other work related projects. Finally, I would like to thank our stellar Library 2.0 team at MPPL for all of their help and support as they made time to answer all of my questions. You Rock!

British Airways recently launched this online community that twins New York with London and is fed by a blog network. It’s a social utility serving a niche (admittedly, a *mega*-niche) rather than a social networking site. Very pretty and great content (I would say that, my agency designed it), plus a buzz-based algorithm tracking user behaviour and sentiment, and dynamic ‘charts’ of the best places in both cities. Bloggers and online communities are the real local experts - it’s what many of us now look for when researching a destination or trip - authentic, intelligent recommendations, filtered out from the wall of noise, spam-sites and search cheating. Good relevant blogs (and the most relevant pages within them) are particularly hard to find. Have a look at http://www.metrotwin.com and I’d love to know what you think. I think it’s interesting to see big companies doing interesting things with social content.
Thank you for all of the effort and hard work you put into completing the program!
