and in first place on WEB 2.0 classifieds and directories

CRAIGS LIST!!!! I love craigs list, know it isn't the prettiest flashiest sight around but it is soooo simple to use. I have used craig's list to inquire about buying a new car, apartments and even some extra work to make some extra cash on the side. Its like an encyclopedia of whats what but right now. It is constantly updated and whats good about it is that it is not only state wide but world wide. Being that i am from NY and i constantly thinking about going back i look at the jobs at the apartments and even the events that are happening there as well. Craig's list just has everything we already have the internet in front of us but craig's list narrows down the area you desire right at your finger tips.
Know there are some concerns with craigs list like a couple of months ago a girl was applying for a job and when she got there it was a false add and the guy killed her my advice is always bring someone whith you even if they are just sitting in the car waiting for you to finish the interview or going to look at a car with you. can't ever trust anyone so just be careful i still love craigs list and always look on it because it is a great source of info.

Technorati

I was unable to get to the keyword search that contained the pull down tab for blog posts, tabs,blog directory etc so i just used the main search box and typed in Learning 2.0 i got pages and pages of hits. I didn't indepth look at technorati because i am not an avid blog reader. But i do understand how it can be helpful to the people who read and write blogs all the time. The tagging on technorati makes it simple to pretty much read all that you only want to read without having to waste time with stuff you don't care much for.

taggin, folksonomy, del.icio.us... OH MY!!!!!

has anybody been going through this web 2.0 information saying man i wish i would have thought about that first. Well for me besides myspace del.icio.us is the other creation i wish i would have come up with. There have been so many times that i have been over at a friends house or on my cell phone talking about a new website i have found or using someone elses computer and i forget what i website is any i can't do anything because the website is bookmarked only to my computer at home.
This is like having a cell phone you can go anywhere with it. I tend to be on the run alot and always forget until like the day before ohh the bill is due... and then i can't remember the darn website just looking at a couple of tags on del.icio.us made me want to start an account and start saving websites because i know that there are some people that have the same problem as me.
Honestly with the way this technology is going we will soon be able to things with just a thought. I am for social bookmarking its is so much easier to find things when there are other people looking for the same thing.
I don't really consider myself lazy but keep bringing on the new technology because it is making my life so much simpler. I love it!!!
