Thing 11 - Web 2.0 Awards

I hoped to find fascinating possibilities in the Events category of Web 2.0 award winners. Instead, no clear winners were listed so I checked out the 5 Honorable Mentions sites. The first 2 were dead links. The 3rd option -- Eventful.com -- bills itself as the 'World's Largest Collection of Events.' My search for library events in the Learning, Education category turned up Tully Branch children's storytimes as well as SJSU's Job Fair Success Workshop. A nice feature is that you can sort events by date, venue, venue and distance ranges. The site has relatively little content and will have to work hard to beat Craigslist.org or Zvent.com for variety and sheer numbers of event listings.
