Web 2.0 Awards List

Didn't even KNOW they had an "awards list"! Good to know that.
I chose the site, "My Heritage", since genealogy is a love of mine. It was pretty elementary, but the tabs make it easy for a user to navigate around the site. There is a special tab just for photographs, which is a nice touch to anyone's family history. As far as application to a library setting, I think that it would be a wonderful site to introduce in a workshop, particularly with youth - to help them get started in recording their family history, and feeling a part of that heritage. Beginning adults, also, would benefit from the simplicity of this site. It makes family history seem exciting and state-of-the-art. Eventually, of course, users would need to include research from some of the other sites, such as Ancestry.
