week 5 thing 11
For my discovery exercise I choose criagslist.org. I picked this website from the short list. I enjoyed craigslist because it is like an online garage sale/ classified ads. The ads are organized by subject you can find what you are looking for easily. For Alaska you have ads from fairbanks and anchorage and other small cities. I could of bought a lot of things I didn't need. The sites useful features was the way the site was organized in category. I could find used cars all the way to a washer and dryer. Some of the ads had pictures attached so you could see what a house for sale looks like all the way to what a TV for sale looks like. I don't think this site would be used in a library setting for children. I think it would be useful in a public library though since people are always looking for a good deal or a job. Craigslist even has job postings.

I have to admit that I haven't been on Craig's List. I guess it is fear that it will become another time suck that I just don't have time for....I do, however, have friends that love it and use it frequently. I think it is an interesting outgrowth of this online communication explosion we are seeing world wide.
