Great title, I know. But it actually is relevant!
Slow night here at Bellevue, so I was reading through some of the old Comments on the KCLS 27 Things blog, and stumbled across a rather cool coincidence, of sorts!
During Week 6, we explored Technorati and LibraryThing, two Social Networking sites that use Tagging. Many Learning 2.0 folks signed up for Technorati and made Learning 2.0 a hot topic on the Popular page. This also means Learning 2.0 and kcls27things started showing up on other peoples sites as related topics! And wouldn't ya know, we attracted the attention of a popular blogger!
Learning 2.0 and the KCLS 27 Things project
Certainly a nice article that makes mention of us, and shows how our 27 Things project isn't just useful for library employees, but for many people out there who don't know much about Web 2.0! How about that?
Now here's the nifty part: If you read the blog post, he makes mention of aNobii in relation to LibraryThing. It turns out aNobii is a cataloging site for personal libraries as well. And based on my brief exploration of their site, I think I like it better than LibraryThing! The interface seems a touch cleaner, the Tagging and Social Networking seems more intuitive, and there seems to be fewer extraneous entries for the same title. Granted, they don't have the :CueCat, but I'm not sure thats enough of a feature to win the battle for LibraryThing, at least not for me.
Both are free, so check them both out and discover for yourself which you like better!

Thanks for the link! I think you've made some good observations about your Learning 2.0 experience so far, and I hope you'll keep blogging once you've finished the project.
By the way, I really enjoyed Pirates in an Adventure with Scientists, but I haven't read the sequels. Are they as fun as the first one?
Thanks again,

Your blog is so awesome and it makes me laugh hARRRtily.
@ Rob,
The other two books are as amusing as the first, if not more so! They are most certainly worth the read.
I also recommend The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster for more pirate-related hijinx!
