One of the things we’re doing this term is each student gives a short (5 min) presentation on a Web 2.0 service. They started at Go2Web2.0 to find their pick. I thought I’d share today’s picks… just for fun:
Megan picked Snooth, a wine rating a recommendation site. Oregon is well known for its Pinot Noirs, so we’re a bunch of wine snobs around here.
Jackie’s choice was Think from MTV, which has a lot more social media aspects than I thought it did.
Staci found the very cool Cookthink and there are dozens of recipes for a carrot and chicken based Eastern European casserole for someone in a nutty mood. Who knew!
Eileen shared Yelp.com, a review-based site for restaurants, shopping, events and more.
Lee showed us Dooniz, a shopping site that benefits dozens of nonprofits around the world. By using the Dooniz portal, you can shop and still do good – my favorite kind of shopping.
Joey found Playlist.com, a music sharing site. Create a playlist and share it on any social network site or just listen. Similar to Pandora, I think.
My favorite of the day was Patrick’s find. 20DC is a social network site for those interested in politics, particularly geared toward the 20-somethings. I’m really interested to see how this site and other like it will affect the 2008 elections. I think the force will be meaningful – GenY’s are politically engaged and interested in communicating this way.
Great finds!
