if you've ever spent an afternoon in a public library; you've encountered them...
the myspace undead...
shuffling from screen to screen - scavenging unused minutes from early departees; climbing over each other to claw at badly tiled profiles beaming virtual friends and celebrtiy/media carpet-bombing...
and then there appeared... a knight in blue and white :P
its name was facebook; and they looked, and they saw that it was good.
my techonology is social networking - particularly facebook.
facebook is clean in design - its interfaces encourage networking along many lines (professional, interests/hobbies, schools, geography, looking for love, etc). The applications and add ons is where facebook excels though.
heres an example of librarian oriented apps that i discovered on de.lisc.ious while briefly poking around...
