I played around with the two music mashups, but I don't see much use for me. I prefer to just listen - not repeating songs, saving them, etc. I create a station and listen - I'll skip or "dislike" a song, but tend not to save them since I'm interested in hearing new things.
I might use Lazy Library occasionally - we get people all the time who have to do a lst minute book report, or who just might want a quick read. I would like more results, but it can at least be a "mind jogger" when you draw a blank. BookTour might be handy if it didn't call for a download...:-)
Libworm was interesting. I liked just clicking on a tag and seeing what comes up. I didn't set up rss feeds, but that is a convenient option if there was a topic I wanted to track in more depth.
I like the idea of Lunchbox, but it's got a long way to go. :-) It didn't find much around the zip codes I entered, even though I know of other places in those areas. Wheel of Food is a fun idea, but has the same basic problem. Functionality was a but limited, too - tried "spin again" and that doesn't work.
According to WalkScore, we're a 38/100; car dependent. It would be somewhat useful if I were househunting, perhaps. It is handy to see exactly how far away Walgreen's is, since I tend to walk there. :- ) Crime reports was pretty limiting for me, since my city isn't listed. It's a good idea, although you can usually get crime reports from the police if you're interested, or google it.
