Thing #18

I chose PeerTrainer in the Health category because I am always interested in reading about the latest regarding health or regarding weightloss and fitness. It claimed to be a "powerful system"for Weight Loss and Fitness Support. It "Helps You Be Accountable to Yourself, and Supported By Others In Small, Online Groups and Teams."

What did you like or dislike about the tool? This site, was sooooo easy to use! They only allow 4 people to be in your group and you can open it to anyone or make it a private group. I like that!

What were the site’s useful features? You can log everything you eat, set goals, log your workouts, read articles to assist you in your journey, journal, read what other people have to say, chat, join a team, etc. The bad thing, on a page or two there are Google Ads promising you can lose 18 pounds in 4 days with a special diet you can buy for $27 or you can lose 15 pounds in a month by purchasing a hoodia complex. But these were very small ads and were not on every page. Saavy users will know what to do with these.

Could you see any applications for its use in a library setting?
This site was for a more personal usage so, no, there would not be a library setting for this site.
