I'm not really sure what to write about... I'm not a super techno person and I'm certainly not a Luddite but... well ... Okay I'm stalling... I'll write about LibraryThing.com. Its really cool how you can catalog your books according to how the world makes sense to you, and not how it makes sense to a cataloger. An added bonus is that it is open source software! This means that it is free to the individual and costs almost nothing for non-profit organizations. I also really like the sharing component as this is very important with any web 2.0 application. We don't want to just store information anymore, we want people to accesss it, comment on it and maybe even learn from it. It would be nice if libraries OPACs could offer similar features.
