The websites for the Web 2.0 Awards was great. If you want, check the website out by clicking http://www.seomoz.org/web2.0 I looked at the category called video. I really liked Youtube. I searched for Sabado Gigante with the Chacal. Basically, the show is liked the Gong Show where contestants sing until they are kicked out by the "Chacal." The audio was fine, but the video stream needed improvement. The video looked grainy and it was a little slow in downloading. I probably new the Super Duper Quadruple internet package to get better video quality.

What were the site’s useful features? The Web 2.0 Awards listed many resources that people could use. For example, it listed the http://www.cocktailbuilder.com/ This website dealt with creating mixed drinks. The concept is a good one, but the web design didn't agree with me. I would like to see more tropical drinks with fruits and liquor.

Could you see any applications for its use in a library setting? In a library setting, Youtube could be used to highlight the many services and products that a library has to offer. For example, video stream could show how people can place library holds on the book called Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. Youtube video stream could be used to publicize a grand opening or a renovation of a library branch. In addition to using local media outlets, a library district could create its own in-house video media.
