There were such a lot of categories and so many amazing things to look at that I ended up exploring a few different sites. Ones that I thought could be useful for libraries are http://www.campfirenow.com , http://clipmarks.com and http://www.biblio.com.
Campfire - The ability to create your own chatroom and set up member lists and discuss issues and post documents is great. This site is good for communication on projects when people can't get to the same physical place. I could see library services in the country that have their branches quite a distance apart benefitting greatly from a site like this. The ability to invite guests temporarily is also useful if you need to consult people outside the organisation.
Biblio - I could see this site being really useful if we needed to obtain out of print or hard to get items. The ability to browse by category/topic as well as standard ISBN etc is good.
Clipmarks - The ability to save only part of a web page is really great. I could see this site being useful for when you only want to print a particular section of a page. It would also be helpful for grouping together design ideas for things such as web pages or a new website.
