You Tube etc

So many to choose from-some especially good ones from Egypt-not yet up to embedding though.
I can see the huge potential for libraries to engage with customers, staff and other libraries throughout the world via this medium.

Online applications

The docs tool would be useful and could cull lots of meetings :-) Great for storytelling groups I would think -promotional stuff also.

RSS Feeds I used the Powerhouse pic of the Day , the Brisbane ABC site and the world ABC site and some travel ones. I don't yet see how I can use the RSS feeds in my work other than accessing what others have written or showing customers possibilities.
Wiki time -I think bookgroups, students and particularly housebound patrons could utilise library wikis to great advantage.
