- Last.fm... (http://www.last.fm/) This is a good tool for me because it seems to have a wide knowledge of music not only in english but in a variety of foreign language. I typed in Garou (one of my favorite French singers) and even though some of the suggestions were a little "odd", I can see the similarities between the songs I like and the ones that were played. I don't think this tool would be very useful in library use but as a personnal use I think I will reuse it!
- The other site I checked out was Loomia (http://loomia.com/). Now I think that this site could be used in the library and could actually be a good addition to our catalog. Loomia offers personalized recommendations based on the searches the user made and the sites/products he selected and appeared to be interested in. I think this site could be used as a great tool to suggest books that have similar topics, styles, etc... in order to assist our patrons in knowing what is out there and in possibly broadening their searches and literacy repertoire.
Enjoy!
