We posted an article, “10 Ways to Find a Friend from High School Online” (http://www.internetservice.net/2011/10-ways-to-find-a-friend-from-high-school-online/), and I thought that you or your readers might find it interesting.

Thanks for your time!

first of all I want to congratulate you for your very exciting website around social media in libraries.

I think you are the right address to ask the following question in the field of social media/libraries.
I am doing my master thesis in interaction design. My thesis is crusing around the topic “using the potential around us” meaning that strangers around us ‘know’ a lot which we could use for ourselves. One application could be located in a library..during a stay in your local library you’re grabbing books from the shelfes, reading the cover…but at this moment you (at least I am) a bit lost and I’m missing some more information…let’s say you could instantly see reviews, or comments by readers (local or global), you could see what similar books are around and what you might like, what your friends on “libraryThing/goodReads” are thinking…maybe you could even get in contact with other local readers..so this could be easily done via a mobile App (point at a book and get the info) or a tablet right at the shelfes…now my question..do you know some projects like this? Does the idea makes sense to you? Do you have maybe further information?

Thank you very much! I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
I appreciate your feedback very much.

Kind regards, Armin
