# 14 More Web Tools

Had a look at some of the winners of the Web 2.0 Awards. Again amazing creativity! I liked 'Upcoming' - a site listing upcoming events in terms of music, social and educational events for every State in Australia and some regional areas. There didn't seem to be many events listed, but I expect that will grow as more people become aware of it. I found a reference to the forthcoming ALIA Conference in February next year in the 'Education' section (of course, although sometimes it can be social as well, for networking purposes). Maybe we could have a similar site at the State Library, which features all the meetings on a calendar. Then you could just click on to the site and you would be instantly reminded of your daily meetings or upcoming meetings.

I also liked 'PEERtrainer' - a site that offers dietary and exercise advice and a peer support vehicle for dieting and fitness. Fascinating stuff.
