Web 2.0 Awards

This week I had an opportunity to learn more about the Web 2.0 Awards list. The Web 2.0 Awards were created by the company SEOmoz, who reviewed hundreds of sites and then rated and ranked them. Honors were awarded in 41 different categories.
As instructed by the Discovery Exercise, I selected a few of the sites on the list and explored them. The first site I chose was Healia. Healia is a consumer health search engine that allows the user to find high quality & personalized health information on the web. The next site I reviewed was Guess-the-Google, a fun game in which the player guesses which Google search term returned the images that are displayed. Finally, I tried the site Biblio.com. Biblio.com is a marketplace for used, rare and out-of-print books.
Out of the three sites I explored, Healia & Biblio.com were probably the ones that would prove most useful in a library setting. However, I found Guess-the-Google to be the most entertaining.
