Social Networking Web20 Style

Social Networking is a good way to network with others in a more formal way. With the ease of Internet communication, it is possible to follow others and share information about the areas of one's interest. It's easy to find others to follow and become friends with. There are also groups that I can join. I can also post questions and hope that others will have an answer. This is possible with nings like Classroom 20 and Twitter.

With Librarything, I can focus on books by sharing what I'm reading and have read. I can also write reviews of what I've read. I can even share this on my Blog! I can also follow what other members are reading and join groups. I can find others who are reading books that I've read, and see what else they're reading. This feature could be used to share with students who are looking for similar works to read.
