www.myspace.com/libraryloft - the Imaginon teen space on MySpace

www.secondlife.com - create a new persona and inhabit an alternative (virtual) universe - this is huge

www.flickr.com - this online photo organizing and sharing site -(I think it also has tools to create "trading cards" using your own images - for free - if I can just find it on the site - more on this later)

http://plcmclearnng.blogspot.com Helene created this online learning tool for PLCMC staff to learn about and create blogs, wikis, etc. BUT anybody can take part! This means us!

www.aadl.org site of Ann Arbor District Library - a great example of a web site, created with free online tools, and what is able to be accomplished - right now they are gathering images from the community for the "future archive"
