Google 2.0
I've just been reminded of all the interesting/useful applications that are part of the behemoth called Google. For me, one of the handiest is Maps, for getting directions and showing people what a destination looks like. I switched from Mapquest for ease of use.
Delicious 2.0
I'm afraid I don't find the new location of "Best Websites" nearly as convenient as its old one. The multiplicity of tags does help, though.

Facebook 2.0
Of course, like anything you aren't supposed to be doing at a particular moment, Facebook can be a waste of time, but on the plus side, it is a marvelous way of keeping up with, or track of, far away(either in space or time) friends. In addition, there are so many games you can play, singly or in concert with your friends. If your account is active enough, you will even find additions to your stock of virtual friends.
It is a tool-for good or ill, depending on how it's used.

Wiki 2.0
I was able to find several entries needing correction, although one was not editable. The changes I did make were likely because of typos, or at least lack of proofreading.

21st Century Literacy 2.0
There's more to literacy than being able to read. We are to learn the new ways, in order to be more useful to our customers. They involve, of course, the ubiquitous computer. (A world in a box; and the Internet: everybody talking at once-you have to choose to whom to listen.)
Firstly the blog, of which this is one.
I hope to become more comfortable in all these new necessities(especially the ones I haven't tried). Anything that makes me more literate is good.
You can learn something new every day, if you're not careful!
