The web 2.0-pages I use the most are youtube.com and myspace.com . So no, I won’t get points for my originality…
Recently I started using last.fm, but I don’t know much about that page yet. I think it is an interesting page because of the possibility for users to describe their favourite music through tagging and after that get recommendations of other interesting bands.

Iveta's links to Web 2.0 sites
Hey, I would also like to contribute to this web 2.0 sites overview :)
As most of us, I use facebook , then igoogle and youtube. Similar kind of stuff as youtube can be done at Metacafe or czech Stream.cz , where users can add their videos or watch some pieces from czech tv channel, but I don't use it much.
I use Wikipedia, but only as a passive user, I do not contribute to the content. Then I sometimes go to Lyricwiki which is good when I need to find lyrics of songs I like.
I started my blog lately, but it is really a beta version, I still haven't found out everything I need from the CMS I'm using there..
I go almost every day to discussion forum nyx.cz where you can find a topic you are interested in and join easily with people with same interests. There are both chatting boards and more professional ones, which can be helpful if you have troubles when solving a problem. You can also present your pictures there and discuss about them and each user has a blogging space.
We used Slideshare quite a lot during one of my classes, our teacher always placed his presentations there. It's a good place when you want to show your presentations to group of people or find people who are into the same topic as you.
For listening to music, I sometimes go to last.fm but I think it has changed lately and I don't like it as much as before. I used to go more to Radioblogclub.com.

Ivanessa's suggestions
My first contact with Web 2.0 was six years ago, with a site almost like Facebook, very known in Portugal, called Hi5. It's a social network, where everyone shares photos, comments and other personal information. Back then, I had no notion of what Web 2.0 was, and Hi5 was mostly used to keep in touch with friends all over the country.
As my contact with the Internet began to increase, I became aware of many other community websites for other purposes. I still didn't know what Web 2.0 was, yet it was clear to me that these new paradigms of community and sharing were transforming the way people interacted with the Web and eachother. I was soon introduced to Last.FM and shared a profile with a group of friends, which enabled me to discover lots of new music i was unaware of.
I still remember the time when the vast majority of us did not know Wikipedia. It was a major revolution in the way we students thought about writing essays and doing our homework. While I never contributed any article, Wikipedia is often the starting point for most of my work. Other wiki software (such as TWiki) is used in some of the courses in my school for students to submit their work, and enables us to work together as a group, using all the tools for collaborative writing it provides.
Although I don't write a blog, i regularly keep in touch with my friends by reading their blogs, especially after having come to Denmark.
I also became addicted to Facebook, which event planning feature allows me to arrange nights out with my friends :) The iRead feature is a very nice addition, through which i can know what books my friends have read and share suggestions (almost like LibraryThing).
Google Reader is another application of Web 2.0 that i'm addicted to. I can concentrate all my news sources in one place, and share them with my friends.
I also use Youtube to watch funny videos and music videos my friends share with me.
Even though I don't use them, I know many other examples of Web 2.0 applications, such as Flickr, used to share photos; Delicious is a social bookmarking tool, which allows people to keep their bookmarks online, accesible from anywhere, and share links; Twitter is a microblogging tool, which can be used for reporting current actions and events, or as a mass SMS sender.
I am not even near a power Interner user, but I hope that I may have contributed a little to this blog :)

Anne-Maries Web 2.0 links
There is a lot of interesting web2.0 features, and if you don't know anything about it, this is a place to start: GO2WEB2.0 But offcourse, it might be a little too much :-)
I like the features where you can opload your fotos to the blog in severel ways. You probably all know Flickr and Picasa, but here is a site, where you can make your own slide-show in many funny ways. It's simply called Slide
If you like music, there are different tolls to f.ex. get a radio on your blog, one could be Last.fm It's easy to use, but do not allways contain what I'm looking for. Or, try Deezer
If you want to learn more about 23things, you can easily look it op at Helsingør Bibliotek, or Gentofte Bibliotek - but only in danish.
