Oh no, here we go exploring again! Now the Olympics of Web 2.0 - the top threes (gold, silver, bronze) of every conceivable web 2.0 category.But wow, we bow . . . bookmarking category, top dog is ma.gnolia. George and I (remember George?) just have to give many wags of tail to any site that can direct us to this one. The essence of life's choices encapsulated in a flowchart. Simple uncomplicated chaps with simple uncomplicated needs . . . Maslow knew what was what. (And it's perfectly upfront in Dogboy's profile - food is good!)
Looked at the top of the pops in a few categories - Flickr again, Rollyo again, Facebook etc. Looked at the Ning thing (another place for creating groups?) , the Xing thing (have no need to discover deals, employees, colleagues using a six degrees of separation principle, though I guess if I wanted to find someone I used to work in New York with . . .? but I guess that's the point?) and a thing called Swivel, which seemed to be a site where bits of data were brought together. For example, I could see in graph form how many people had died on Mt Everest in the last 50 or so years. Not sure when you would want that but from a library perspective, you never know, there could be useful stuff here. . .
But why is Biblio Web 2.0? Where's the mixing/mashing, social networking, "being where the users are" bit? Isn't it just another webpage or is there something fundamental I still don't get here?

Love the flowchart. Could be adapted for many a situation.
