Some interesting web 2.0 sites I found:
http://www.scrapblog.com/: An online scrapbook site that allows users to post online, share with friends or even print them. Apparently, well-know designers of the scrapbooking world have provided templates that are available for purchase. (I did not know that scrapbooking world had well-known designers!!!) I do some scrapbooking but cant find the time recently...this may be a good option.
http://www.imbee.com/: A social networking site for kids and tweens. Its basically Facebook for kids but has a lot more privacy/security features so not anyone can see a kids information. This sounds a like a good place to start kids off on social networks since its highly restricted and not open to the public. My first thought was to suggest keeping kids off sites such as these but realizing that is not really possible, other than in my head, this seems like a good alterative.
http://letterpop.com/: Ok..this looks pretty cool. Its a site where you can create newsletters, photo collages, invitations, party invites, etc. To start, you can join with no fee but you get limited features like you can only upload about 25 pictures the first year. Which is not a lot at all..but if the templates come out nice...it may be something worth looking into. If you are a small business owner, this look like an easy way to do newsletters, ads, different marketing letters, etc. I think I may try this one out myself.
http://www.wayfaring.com/: Kind of a personalized google maps where you can create maps of your own with your own specifics and then share them with friends. So for example, if a friend is coming into town, you can mark the best places to stay, eat, and see a movie on the map so they can see where everything is. Kind of interesting.
http://www.webkinz.com/us_en/: Second life for kids? This is how it works: purchase a Ganz Webkinz or Lil'Kinz plush toy at your local retailer, or online; and then, use the code number that comes with the toy to enter the online world and play with your virtual pet. It looks kind of cute:)
http://www.clubpenguin.com/: This I thought deserves a mention just because its soooo cute!!! But the idea is the same, as second life but for kids. Downer here is that it costs money to join…nothing seems to be free.
