Really good and informative video of the function/aesthetics of web2.0, and i must agree with Tom that the video is a very postmodernish art piece that perfectly illustrates the fluidity of words/sentences/ideas/significations etc--a very Lacanic/Derridean post-structuralist video.
One of the sites i visited through the awards list was librarything.com. Coincidentally, I had read an article about this site, a few weeks back, in Discover (i believe) and it sounded quite interesting and promising. The premise is, you get to post the first 200 books in your personal library for free (unlimited requires a $20 fee, i think), tag them, rate them, and even write a review of them, and librarything.com will connect you with other people who share the same and/or similar books. It's like a myspace for bookworms (and i mean that as a compliment, not in the word's vulgar pejorative signification). I mean honestly, what is possibly more telling than the books you read and like/hate/champion/loathe. I think your library (or what portions of it we choose to post and what others we choose to omit) can be a pretty accurate litmus test of your personality.
