Web 2.0 library thing reader thing
Posted by jtravers on May 17, 2007
If you want a wonderful Web 2.0 working example to explore or show people, have a look at www.librarything.com – a great big book club where you show off your library, tag your readings, explore the million or more other book entries and converse with people in the hundreds of groups of like-minded readers. This is my tag cloud. Don’t laugh.
This is a Web 2.0 application that even the most elite elitist will appreciate, because there is a long tradition of people discussing books in a discussion group. The beauty of if is that I don’t have to mix with the people who loved The DaVinci Code, I can go off and form a group of people who like my kind of book.
This seem to me to be the way to persuade teachers and others that something new is happening with Web 2.0. Get them to look at a site like this, and they will Get IT.
