Kristina's Web 2.0

I use a variety of web 2.0 applications i my daily life like: del.icio.us, iGoogle (where i also have link to my GoogleReader, politiken, Newz, the weather forecast, calender, notes and my del.icio.us account and at advanced searcher for the yellow pages (De gule sider)), Flickr, Instant messaging, Blog, Groups, Facebook, etc.

One of my bigtime favorites is Ravelry, which is at site for knitters, you have to get an approval to become a member of the site, so you have to send a description of why you would like to be a member, and then you maybe get accepted, just maybe. When you are a member there is a lot of tools you can use to keep track of your own knit-work, what yarn you have in your stash, what needles you are in the possession, but best of all, you can search other knitters works and see some of what they have knitted, and get their recepies and some of them are even freely avalible on the net or there are information on how to purchace the designs. Futhermore the have a cooporation with Flickr, so you can use the photos you have on flickr to show you knit-work. There are groups to different genres, countries, etc. and you can make favorites of both individual designs, designer, yarn, etc. It is in short words, heaven for at passionate knitter like me :o)
