Exercise 1 : Mashups
I have never heard of mashups before this. Kind of a cool concept.
I found one called Typeracer (http://mashupawards.com/typeracer/)~ you are timed while you type text from various books, etc. You can even race-type against an internet opponent. (I can't wait to type against the nephews!)
I am overwhelmed at the number of great sites I've found ~ from realestate to foods to games ~ awesome.
Exercise 2: Rollyo
Took a bit to figure this one out.
I love the legal signs ~~ very funny.
I really like the "we'll come to you" idea based on IM messaging ~ very current and useful in any library setting.
Also, the ALA privacy toolkit ~ great information
There was a curious note about Johnson County patron privacy ~ librarian could actually be fired for giving a patron phone number to the police ~ wonder what our policies are...
I don't like Rollyo as much as some of the other resources presented ~ the search results remind me of a generic google search.
