Using Web 2.0 tools means having a spirit of adventure and a willingness to do some exploration, often with little or no instruction. This Thing is designed to give you some choices and the chance to try out some of the Web 2.0 tools that are specifically designed to to help us organize, create and share information. Like all of Web 2.0, you need to explore and make decisions about the tools that will be most useful for your needs. No one uses ALL of these tools, just the ones that make sense for what they want to do.
