Well I have to say that this webthings challenge did teach me alot. Some of the things I knew about already, but some were completely new to me. Some I probably will never use again and some I will probably never go another day without using.
With that said, my favorite thing was probably Thing #8 Make Life "Really Simple" with RSS & a Newsreader. I use bloglines all the time now and have even changed my homepage to bloglines on my home computer. It has made my web surfing 100x more efficient and has cut down the time i need to spend on the internet in half. On the other hand, Conversely I least liked the ListenNJ.
I feel the library should get much more involved in YouTube. It is one of the most popular things to do on the internet today and has spread like wildfire since it's inception. The library would have much to gain by tapping into this resource on a regular basis.
I have shared RSS feeds with many of my friends and most of them are already hooked on it. It is one thing that I can say will probably become commonplace fairly quickly because of the fact that it cuts down the amount of time you need in order to individually look through each website. That fact alone will catapult it to the top spot because as we all know anything that can give us more time for anything else in our lives becomes an instant hit.
