Web 2.0 Awards

I looked at several of the Web 2.0 award winning sites. Be Green Now was interesting. I got an ESPN widget from Springwidgets. I found Yahoo! Answers interesting and disturbing at the same time. Some people believe everything they read on the internet. I think that the library should promote itself as an authority on reference in person, on the phone, and online. We must get people to understand the importance of trustworthy and reliable information that is absent of opinion, bias, or product promotion. You can get all sorts of information on the web, but people don't understand that anyone can put anything out there. This should be our mission. I did find Minti interesting. It is advice for parents by parents. And I DO understand that this is in addition to the pediatrician's instructions and the medical book I have by the American Pediatrics Association.
