MLA Conference - 2.x Tools to Make You Look Cool

Cynthia Dudenhoffer, Director of Information Resources, Central Methodist University

Speaker is discussing 2.x tools that can be incorporated into the library.

Awesomehighlighter.com - can highlight any webpage and share with others.
Anki.com - flashcard maker that is completely web-based
BibMe.org - bibliography maker
Card.ly - virtual business card maker
DailyLit.com - public domain books
downforeveryone.com - can see if a website is down for everyone or just me
eHub - blog listing web 2.0 tools
FastPencil.com - guide on how to write books
Geni - online family tree maker
Handipoints - resource for kids
ItCanSay - pronunciation guide
Lovely Charts - flow charts for free
Notemesh - collaborative note taking site
Psykopaint - free source comparable to photoshop
Ravelry - knit and crochet community
TicTOCS - Table of Contents feeds from your favorite journals
Vimeo - YouTube for snobs, much better features and better video than YouTubes

My thoughts: there was so much more links presented than what I listed on this blog. I just listed the ones that I thought were pretty cool. It just shows that there is so much more out there than you can keep up with.
