"Has Elvis Left the Building?
By davidleeking on web2.0
Gee whiz.
Every now and then, someone decides to share that some new-fangled “library 2.0″
project didn’t work out … and others start claiming “After John Blyberg and
others come out and say that library 2.0 didn’t work and neither did tagging,
etc., the flood gates open.” Huh?
It might be good to remember two
things:
1. If one 2.0 project doesn’t work as expected, that doesn’t
mean that “library 2.0 didn’t work” as a whole.
2. Social 2.0 projects require “Elvis” to leave the building."

Interesting article. Sometimes it's difficult to tell if something is or isn't a success.
I, myself, am a book and library geek. I read a lot; belong to book sites like goodreads.com that is a community of readers EAGER to review books, make recommendations, and support favorite authors; and I'm always willing to star and post a small review on our catalog for every book I read.
But I understand that some people just like to browse and not participate or comment on some new technology, even though they're enjoying it and using it.
And I agree with Richard that it's important to entertain no matter what information we're advertising.
