Alright, I really 'get' this technology! The applications for everyday and professional use are endless. The sharing of information interactivelly means content can be accessed, used, manipulated, deleted when no longer relevent, anything anywhere. This is an information junkie's nirvana.
"So you want to build a wiki", "Library success: a best practices wiki" gave me the necessary basic info on how this all works and examples of the potentials for 'good or evil'. This is powerful stuff. I really liked it.

video streaming
I finally 'get' YouTube! Anything you can think of is available in video form on the net. Amazing resource for keeping socially current.
Wow! Hulu and Fancast would be addicting for anyone with a need for unlimited access to tv and movies.
Now I know we can actually refer patrons to these sites if we don't have the movies and shows they request.
They were all easy to access, videos played and (stopped) when I wanted, searching for different subjects to watch was straight forward, and it was FUN. My only complaint was sometimes the sound was mushy and/or difficult to control volume-wise.

Friends networking
Very interesting to say the least! I joined EONS, uploaded a photo representing my dog, poked around, and found out more than I ever wanted to know about some people I've never met. Sorta-kinda fun but I doubt I will ever take on-line networking seriously. All-in-all, good to know how to do this in case I'm ever asked.
