This was really interesting. I am planning a visit to the Southern Branch of the Calvert County Libraries, so I checked out the different Mapping sites. I was surprised that I didn't see Map Quest on the list. Google Maps seems to be pretty efficient. The directions I got from that site look pretty good to me. The other two sites I looked at were social networking mapping sites, which wasn't indicated until I actually got into them - not something I'm interested in.
I also looked at the Classifieds and Directories sites listed as the top three. I had heard of Craigslist before, but never really understood what it was. There's a lot of information there! The areas that may have "controversial" content seem to be well labeled, giving you a chance to back out before you get there. That is really nice, especially if you've got young ones sitting with you as you do your search.
The Web 2.0 awards list could be a valuable tool for library patrons, if they don't have any idea where to look for whatever they need. It seems the categories are fairly well defined, and pretty inclusive. Then you can just click on the link, and it takes you right there.
