Thing 30 Webby Awards?

I thought this was an interesting idea. When I went to the site I wasn't as impressed as I expected. It seems that it would be handy to look at for people to use these sites fro business. I didn't really see sites that I tought we could use in our library. For instance I went to look at several of the law ones and it was advertising for law firms. Our patrons don't want that they want lae sites that they can get forms for themselves or maybe answers to questions without talking to a lawyer. Lawyers are very pricey. I did have fun on the Crappy Cat site. More fun than I should have at work. 2 cooking sites sounded fun but the recipes on Cookstr were complicated and not for the average homemaker. We do have some patrons who think they are better thatn the average cook so it might be good for them. The Bakespace site itself was having problems like the words were sitting on top of each other which made it hard to click on things. Those recipies used several items that I really am not sure I want to go out and buy. I enjoyed looking at this list anyway. It just didn't seem to be good for our library. I do have to remember to go back to Crappy Cat though.
