#19 Web 2.0 tools

I agree with the advice from the '23 Things' program - there is so much to web 2.0 that it's best to start with one thing..... so I looked at the short list of 2007 winners and picked a few sites to take a quick look at.

• Google Docs and Spreadsheets is a useful tool - and you can use it from the desktop at work which makes it great!
• YourMinis web widgets is an interesting site - one because it has a lot of programs you can use on blogs, wiki's and desktops but also because all these programs are shared. It's great that so many of these tools and programs are shared on the internet and so easy to add to your own site.
• A quick scan of the professional netowrking and organising tools showed some useful sites.
• And for something fun - Cocktail builder is a great tool. You can go through what's left in your bar (assuming there are leftovers) and type them into the "in my bar" field and you'll get a list of cocktail recipes you can make. Next time you have a cocktail party, bring your laptop!
