I dipped in and out of the various categories from the winners lists. Biblio.com- a useful tool for searching out of print, rare books, and even signed copies. Being a music buff the ability to search for sheet music and other genres of music titles appealed. Bookstores and booksellers can be searched by name or country. The various spreadsheet and word processing applications such as Writeboard and Google looked like good practical tools. The "Listdumps" were diverse and fun to browse. However the application that caught my eye were the "Hosted Wikis". Within "Wetpaint" are examples of subject Wikis . I explored the Classical Music for Everyone Wiki. A new feature of Wetpaint is the 'Wiki Whiteboard' . You can create a Wiki within a facebook application . Videos can be posted including those from YouTube . In this application there are also privacy settings to control who sees the information. The other Hosted Wiki I looked at is 'Stikipad'. Again this a tool that could be used to write and update manuals and procedures and more, a collaborative tool for planning etc. You can make your own templates. Tags and tag searching is available and the site claims to have enhanced security.
