MAPS, the site I was not familiar with was Live Maps, maps.live.com I especially liked the Birds Eye view on this site. It will be a site I will use in the future.
TRAVEL, the site boo.com was new information for me. It has maps and reviews of hotels.
I will probably use this site to comparison shop for hotels when we are on vacation.
PHOTOS AND DIGITAL IMAGES, we have worked with flickr and picassa during our exercise but I thought the site picnik.com was an interesting site and would let you edit your photos and appeared to be easy to use.

Zoho Writer and Google Docs
I have an account in Zoho Writer and feel this would be a good tool to use for storing documents and the features of sharing and publishing appear pretty easy. Although I am having a problem getting my Zoho document put on my blog. I can not seem to get the correct username and password. Will keep trying!!
The Goolge Doc is also good, but may not have as many features. I copied a recipe on to Google Doc and Zoho writer and would like to add them to my blog.

CTLS 23 things favorite wiki
This was very easy to set up an account and edit on a Favorite vacation spot and music.
The Sandbox is a cool term "for playing in the sand", an area of the website used for play.
I had no problem with the Favorites wiki, but on the Favorite Blogs page, I was very confused about where to put my blog address. I may not have my address under the correct list.

Week 7 Wikis
A Wiki is a collaborative website which allows users to easily add, remove and edit content.
The movie example, "Wiki in Plain English", explained the use of a wiki as a useful tool for organizing an event or program.
My favorite wiki, is wikipedia, the online open community encyclopedia. I do question the information on a wiki of this sort, is it correct information. I would use the site for information and research but refer to other sources as well.
I looked at all of the wiki examples in the exercise and felt the ALA wiki had and endless supply of wikis for every subject imaginable.
Inside our library we could use a wiki for sharing ideas for programming. Our Friends members could have a wiki to correspond with one another on fundraisers for the library.

I thought this exercise was very interesting and a valuable learning experience.
