Web 2.0 Continues

From visiting http://www.seomoz.org/ , I came across this website: http://comiqs.com/
You can make your own comic strips, using your own photos and text! How fun is that?!
How will this help me or the patrons? Since it is FUN, I think it would be a great suggestion (especially for younger patrons). Not only will they have a good time, but they will also learn in the process! It is a chance to be creative, artistic, and reflect your own personal style.
I also learned about http://www.myheritage.com/ . My family has been using http://www.geni.com/ in order to input our family tree. It really caught on quick! There are people linked to my family tree I have never heard of (we have a BIG family)! However, now that I see the My Heritage site is marked #1 (above Geni), I wonder what makes it a step above. I read that it has a face recognition widget, which sounds amazing! I think these are both great tools for my family and to recommend to patrons! It can really create a feeling of interconnectedness and make you more fully aware of your family (from the past and present).
