I don't like RSS feeds. i much prefer to have email notification of updates from my favourite site. RSS is just another thing to check. Who has time. IT's right there neatly organized in my mail application but I don't ever look, don't need to. I can simply click on the RSS feed on my ipod. I just don't find it suits the way I interact with the internet.
I know taht it is an extremely important Web 2.0 tool but I don't find it useful on a day to day basis.

You Tube (CPL web 2.0)
Youtube My son wanted to make chapatis. So how do you make chapatis? Great thing is it's easy to find out. We looked in you tube and there were lots of videos about making chapatis.
You tube is great for visula learners.

Library Thing (CPL web 2.0)
I like the set up of Library Yhing but I object to having to pay if I have more than 200 entries. Good reads is free and works for me.
I have tried to set up reader advisory lists on Good reads but without musch success. The Tags in Library Thing are useful for this.

CPL web 2.0 GOOGLE UNIVERSE
I love Google. I think I'll have that printed on a t-shirt. I wonder what will replace Google in the future or will it reign forever?
Google Wave is an application for real time communication. I wanted to use it for group essay work but it was dissappointing. The chat worked well but it uploading docs for group real time editing wan't intuitive. The group I worked with ended up just working on the Google Docs app. I really like the versitily (and Price) of Goolge Docs it's nice to be able to access documents where ever you have internet acess without having to carry a pcak of gum in your pocket, and it's also easy to give editing access to others. This can be useful for setting up a schedule.
The one part of Google universe that I want is a google phone number. One phone number that is directed to all the phones in your life. A family member phones you and the number is directed to home, work, and cell. A distant friend phones and you can program the call to go directly to google voice mail!
Only available in the US. I'm waiting.

CPL web 2.0 Library in the Park
I'd rather be doing this in the park. That is the great thing about web 2.0 apps they can be enjoyed anywhere in the wireless wired world.
Intrigued by?? Can the world be truly organized by the folksonomies of web 2.0 invention. What will web 3.0 be? Will there be a time soon when my computer will tell me what needs to be restocked in the fridge ( this may actually exist (thank you, Melanie))? And if so when will someone invent the instant ordering and restocking of my fridge?
CPL web 2.0 WIKIPEDIA
There was no article on me. But then I'm not an obscure subject.
There was no article on my grandfather Colonel Thomas Gay. I think that there is a place for him in Wikipedia since there are articles on Colonel Eamon Broy and David Neligan both of whom played key roles in the Irish republican movement led by Michael Collins. My Grandfather had an equally important role in this part of history and a little of this has been documented in books about Michael Collins. I would like to write such an article but i need some scholarly support. I have writen to a professor who is an expert in this area for some guidence.

CPL web 2.0 Delicious
I enjoy the best wesites in delicious and find it friendly to search. I have had my own delicius account for some time and I have used it. In genreal I don't need to remeber too may wessites and the ones I need to know are eashy to find.
Delicious does however offer a different way to search for webistes and interesting option to google. No web crwlers just the unorganized sampling of wesites by the masses.
