Web 2.0 tools, number 19

I had a good time with this, looking into several award winning sites, and was truly amazed with all that's out there.


Pandora was great fun. I also tried other music sites, as well as Biblio.com for books, and colorblendor for artistic endeavor.


Under city guides, I especially enjoyed Yelp.com, where you can look up a city, and get participants' reviews of local places to go, business establishments, things to do, and services. There are many categories for each city, such as hotels, restaurants, automotive, and health services, with maps and reviews. I entered Charleston, SC, where I once visited briefly, and noticed that the first restaurant listed and reviewed was Pooghan's Porch, which I had tried and liked as a first time visitor. At the time I visited there, I happened upon this fine restaurant randomly on a walking tour. Yelp also has a fun section listing places with clever and unusual names.


Realtravel.com is another user friendly travel site where you can get travel advice and reviews from others, as well as plan trips and itineraries online. This site is also a winner for me.


On to number 20, oh dear, am I going to have time to finish??
