1) The item that makes Library Thing attractive to users is the easy access to using this site. The site is user friendly and easy to maneuver even the inexperienced user can navigate through this site. I really like the way the breakdown of the featured authors sections, blogs, recommendations and reviews. I admire the fact that I search for a book and keep track of a list of books (favorite and wish list). Honestly, the fact that I can blog with other users as well as write my own reviews of literature. I love the author’s chat. It gives me a greater insight to the author’s intent on his writings. It also allows me to post any questions that I may have on the novel or the author’s writings. The talk forum provides an outlet or a connection with other readers on their view or takes on the novel read.

2) Libraries can incorporate the ideas of Library Thing to make their OPACs (Online Public Access Catalog) more attractive by having the page more users friendly. The site should have fewer limitations and restrictions in accessing the information. It would be nice if a guest author could post a answer and question blog while visiting the library or even become a featured author for the month. It would be really nice if the site could feature easy video clip of readings from author and a recommendation list of other books. I like the idea of creating a profile list with my own list of books. This provides me with a type of ownership in the library just like a connection. This will allow me an alternative to visiting the library physically and it will allow me to use the current technology by accessing e-books.

3) A folksonomy compare to taxonomy in terms of advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages of a folksonomy are the availability, lower cost and flexibility. The disadvantages can be inconsistency and over tagging.
