There are a lot of great web tools out there (including quite a few free ones). It is just a matter of having the time to explore the web to find them and then testing them out to see if they suit your purpose. Talking to other people about what they have used for their blogs it is obvious that some tools have more bells and whistles than others, and some are also more user friendly/easier to use.
The challenging thing about technology is that it is forever changing and what you learn and become comfortable with today will probably be gone/outdated by tomorrow. The key is to keep playing/exploring and to not be afraid of trying new things. As a library service we need to introduce new technology and make sure that we are staying relevant to our customers.
Learning 2.0 is a good way to get a taste of what is available on the web. Looking at things like Flickr mashups, blogs etc I can more easily see what uses the tools can be put to and appreciate why people are using them.
