[Web4lib] LibSite.org - A Recommendation Service for Library-related Websites

[Leo Robert Klein]

[sorry for cross-posting]

Hi All,

I'm pleased to announce the availability online of LibSite.org, a 
recommendation service for library-related Websites:

http://libSite.org

PURPOSE

LibSite.org is built around the premise that library-related projects 
need and deserve a higher profile, that the current technology allows us 
to engage this material in any number of creative ways.

FEATURES

For that reason, the site features a blog, a wiki, RSS feeds and email 
alerts -- the last two being configurable down to individual tags. Users 
can rate sites and add them to a "favorites" page. There's even a 
LibSite Widget that people can put on their own sites:

USER-GENERATED

Fundamental to the concept is user-involvement.  Users can post 
recommendations ("webCites").  Users can add their own tags.  Based on 
this input, others can then create RSS feeds and email alerts.  All can 
participate if only to leave constructive comments and rate the work of 
others.

So have a look, add a site if you want.  And then tell me what you think:
