Out of the
clubs and
//into the
libraries
See the good story on tagging from CNET. Also awesome visual for how Flickr works with Yahoo.

PLEASE NOTE: This blog ceased being updated on August 30, 2010. A blog from five OCLC staff about all things present and future that impact libraries and library users. A conversation that starts with the Environmental Scan and wanders around from there. This content is not vetted by OCLC. Everything you read is purely the personal reflections about what's going on in libraryland, informed by our birds-eye views from the center of the WorldCat universe (Dublin, Ohio, USA and beyond).

That's terrific -- thanks for posting this. In lieu of trackback, my comments are here.
Thanks Luke. Sounds like we are on the same track, as far as incorporating other life-experiences (grocery stores, clubs, etc.) into our libraries--and incorporating our libraries into our other life experiences (book window shopping, etc.)
I just had a thought, too--what if a novel snippet was served to you as an appetizer at a restaurant?
Of course, it would be microcontent--calorie free(!)--and based entirely upon the context of your entree: If you order huevos rancheros, you are served a spicy novel set in ancient Mayan ruins. If you order ravioli, you get a Venician thriller. If you order a stir-fry, you get a Beijing biography! (Of course, if you order vegetarian, you get the award-winners from the category...)
