LibSite.org : A Recommendation Service for Library-related Websites: Just a sneak peek of LibSite.org -- a recommendation service for library related websites. I've been working on it for a while and will probably be announcing it "officially" at some point early next week.

Link of the Day: Only Human

Submitted by Leo Klein on Sat, 1/20/07 (4:50am)

Website 'Only Human' is the True Confessions of social networking sites. It bills itself as a "community where people share stories about mistakes they've made in life and their advice to others."

A glance at some of the most recent 'mistakes' includes, "focusing on my studies and not getting a job", "getting in trouble with the cops" and "bringing along/almost finishing 2/3 a bottle of rum". Based on these experiences, authors can include one-line 'words of advice' that are then prominently displayed with special highlighting. Readers in their turn can leave comments and rate posts by clicking on a box marked "I learned from this".

Fun idea. Up there with Twitter. (h/t Mashable)
