My favorite library technology is probably Amazon. Why? Because Amazon (and some of its users) have gone to the trouble of putting in Gigs & Gigs of info on all manner of books, DVDs, videos, CDs, etc ,etc etc, etc. I also like Books in Print. It's great for those books that have been out-of-print for a good long while. Novelist and What Do I Read Next? are also good resources.
I've visited the Book Mooch site before but never used it myself. One of my friends has used it though and she likes it a lot. If I go to the effort of buying a book, I keep it; I don't think I'd pass it on to anyone else. I can definitely see how others (non-collectors) would love it though.
Wikimapia is interesting. I use Google Earth a lot and LOVE it. This seems like a global community version Google Earth; letting users mark landmarks they (and others) find interesting.
