Exploring brand new Web 2.0 sites

I really liked looking at Webware. Not only does it explore the concepts around developing 2.0 sites, and put them in a context, but it has a wide range of sites featured, from super techie - to silly, fun and useful.

I specifically explored the networking area, thinking it would give me good ideas for connecting with teens. But the one I found was kinda silly, but something I would totally use all the time if my telephone had the web technology needed for it.

MizPee is a site where people can list and rate public bathrooms. So if you are out and about and suddenly find yourself desperate to go, you can just log on and not only see the closest ones, but know which one is least likely to be disgusting our out of paper. Simple and a bit goofy...but some of the most basic essential problem solving I've seen one of these sites address.

And, why not put all your public library's bathrooms on it? We always talk about finding new ways to get patrons in...why not promote this service, in which we rarely brag, but almost always excel. Library loos are some of the best around! And people might come in for a quick visit, and discover just how much more we have to offer :)
