Peter Scott's Library Blog clued me into a presentation by Phil Bradley, 30 Web 2.0 applications posted on authorSTREAM. Unlike a lot of other presentations found on the web, this one is more than just the slides, you can hear his presentation along with the slides.

With 30 different applications, it is no surprise that there are quite a few that are new to me.
Such as:

• Cl1p.net - Acts similar to the "clipboard" feature on your computer, but it is on the Internet and allows you to access the clipboard between two computers. If you do a lot of work from home or bounce around to different computers, you might be interested in this. However, it is blocked at my work so looks like I won't be using it that much.
• Plugoo - Similar to Meebo. Unlike Meebo, Plugoo isn't blocked by insitution...so far.
• Gabbly - Really kind of cool. It is a chat feature but if you enter a URL it opens another window while preserving the chat screen. Therefore, you can show somebody a website and chat simultaneously. I think it might be a nice alternative to the expensive chat ref programs that some libraries are using. It too has yet to be black listed by my IT folks.
• Meet-O-Matic - I am seriously thinking of using this for scheduling meetings among memebers of the committees that I am in. Take a tour so you can see how easy it is to propose a meeting time and receive attendees' availablity responses.
• 30 Boxes- More of a personal calendar/organizer. Not as easy as Meet-O-Matic for scheduling meetings. Links in with Facebook, MySpace, Flikr, Blogger, WordPress, Vox, LiveJournal, Webshots. Allows sharing. This might be the answer to my scheduling the family's life. We have a traditional calendar hanging up at home, but we are constantly emailing each other back and forth at trying to remember what we put on it for various days. For example: "What day are the kid's doctor appointments this month? I have an all day meeting and if they are on the same day, you need to take them."

It is an interesting presentation. I am sure if you watch it, you will find something that might help you out either at work or at home.
