thing 19 / Discovering Web 2.0 tools

I looked at 43 Things -- the online goal setting community. I can really see how this would appeal to some folks for 'publicizing' their goals in a social way and for others with like goals through tagging to cheer each other. Interesting - although I wouldn't think of using this myself.

I also looked at Care2 to see what kind of information it provided about charities. The description "... an online hub of people who care about their world and want to make it better" didn't necessarily give me a clear notion of what I could find or locate there exactly. I started browsing and found -- The Cat Lovers group had 49,466 members - which when you consider is larger than most of the communities in Nebraska!

There are always applications of web 2.0 for libraries when there are interested patrons wishing to discuss a mutually agreeable topic.
