I enjoyed looking at a number of the Web 2.0 technologies, starting with the event tools. Eventful (http://eventful.com) has a lot of potential but the content for Adelaide was rather light. There were no events listed in the category of family/kids (even though the school hols were jam packed with events and there are a number of winter programs for kids like the Something on Saturday program). Likewise, there were no events listed under movies, the arts, performing arts or religious events. Under Other, I found out that the Adelaide Pagan and Witches group is a very social bunch but that was about all! The site is very easy to use. Your current location is determined so that when you enter, the listings are displayed automatically for your city. However, it would have to be more widely used by organisers of events in order for it to become more reliable as a resource. I can see a library use for this tool. Public libraries conduct a number of school holiday activities and advertise in newspapers, library websites, etc. Eventful could provide another avenue for advertising their events. Similarly, library conferences, exhibitions, demonstrations could also be advertised using this tool.
This Web 2.0 session was more productive than the last.
