#12 OverDrive downloads
Did you notice anything you liked, didn't like? You can't go wrong with music; but even so, I only found a couple to check out.
How was the selection of titles on the topics you browsed? Disappointing selection of entertainment movies and I don't listen to audio books. I prefer to read them myself. Quite a few titles, but hardly anything with the authors I read.
Were your favorite authors available in the collection? Very few.
Did anything surprise you about this service? No.

#9 YouTube, Hulu and Fancast -- streaming video
YouTube:
Look for videos about libraries. Search for videos on topics that interest you. What did you find? A big mess. My searching skills are pathetic.
Hulu and Fancast:
Explore both sites and look for movies or tv shows that might interest you. Would you use either or both of these sites? Yes. Why? Movies right now and see missed tv programs. Would either of these sites be useful for libraries? Sure.

#8 Facebook, MySpace aka Friend Networks
What features do you like or dislike about the site you visited? I like that it is geared for an older age group. It even has online games.
What do you think makes them so popular? Are you kidding! This is a lot of people's lives. This is their entertainment. Their connection to the world.
