Thing #19

[ Discover any site from the Web 2.0 awards list ]

There are certainly a lot of useful, productive tools and resources on the awards list. I think, though, I'm going to write about the ones that I had the most fun with.

Cocktail Builder is a guide to mixed drinks, but it's more than just a list of recipes. In the search box, you can type in some bottles you might have in your house, and up pops a list of all the drinks you can makes with those. There is also a wiki-type function that allows users to add their own drink recipes to the database, as well as user reviews.

I also loved the idea of One Sentence, which showcases stories (added by users) that are only one sentence long. From the "About" page:

This is about telling the most interesting or poignant story possible in the least amount of words.

Both of these use the basic Web 2.0 idea of user-generated content. Plus, they're a lot of fun!
