I can't think of a single 2.0 Tool I was not aware of or have not used and incorportaed or dismissed in my life. This was probably fascinating for some of our employees, but for me it was pedantic and dull and that is why it has taken so long to finish. I've been doing ALL of this for years. It's prety hard to get excited about revisitng Google maps. It was really neat to discover it, but after that it's just another piece of technology that sometimes doesn't work.
I'm not even very tech savvy and I found this to be kind of a waste of my time.

Bookworm adventures.
Westward Ho!
Been doing this since Oregon Trail and Carmen Sandiego. Not sure what else there is to say.

#18 Maps and Geotagging
4 years ago when I returned from a trip to the west coast I used Google maps to show my parents exactly where in Spokane I stayed.
Later one of our library volunteers used it to find Naruto, Japan. Both seemed amazing at the time, but not so much in retrospect. The same has held true for all the 2.0 assignments.

Been creating Meezes for 2 years now. Even did some for other librarains.#16 Online applications
I use Google docs for my blog postings on Guys Lit Wire. We use Spreadsheet to keep track of what books we are reviewing. I am thinking about using the word processing to write fiction at home since my Vista laptop did not come with a functioning copy of Word and now I hate Microsoft.
#15 Search Engines
I've used Google, Yahoo, Dogpile, and even Netscape Navigator back in the day.
I use Google to kind of get a snapshot of sites that are available answers to reference questions before using my librarian skills to narrow down which might be appropriate for answering questions. I had a patron ask what i did differently than them in using Google, and it came down to being able to sort the usefukl from the not useful due to years of experience.
My Google-fu is strong.

#14 Podacasting
I've been to a couple of podcasting workshops and actually made a couple of podcasts in Iowa with my friend Librarian Bill. The podcasting actually ended our friendship. It was kinda tragic.
I really like the idea of teens being able to express themselves through podcast, but vlogging is much more cutting edge and teens are such visual creatures I don't think they buy in to the concept. I've asked about it in focus groups but have received little interest.
