Library Thing

Love it , love it LOVE IT!! Once I started playing with Library Thing, I had to rush home to start entering my books. The site is easy to use. The only drawback I see is that I will have to pay money in order to enter all of my titles. I could see Library Thing being useful to me both at home and at work. I currently keep track of titles that I have read in a "book journal" that I keep at home. This will make it easy for me to access my booklists from work as well to use for reader's assistance. The "recommendations" is a nice feature.

Online Productivity Tools

I tried out Google Docs to create a team schedule which is what I currently use Excel for. I found that it was very easy to use and that it did everything that I needed it to. It looks like I can send it as an Excel doc. I just might use this instead of Microsoft products and will definitely recommend it to people who do not have office products and are unable (or just don't want to) purchase them.

I am unsure if free online tools will completely replace expensive software, but I will probably not buy office software again.

YouTube & Flickr

I have used YouTube before to watch short videos when someone has mentioned one to me. I see that you can share videos with people of your choosing by checking on the "Unlisted videos" option. Videos can also be shared with "anyone" or "private"(the private selections must have YouTube accounts. It seems to be fairly user-friendly.

I have never used Flickr, but did take a look at the site. I may check it out from home to get a better idea of how easy it is to use.
