Hard to tear myself away from sampling the best of Web 2.0. I know I'll be returning to this exercise.
One of my favorite sites was Care2, the top winner in the philanthropy category. It features news about causes and the means to become active through petitions, donations, and interaction. The site's community includes groups, and among the groups are categories dedicated to education, schools, particular communities, and so on. A library could use the site to gauge and keep up to date on causes important to the communities it serves, and it could even create a group identity on the site. I'm not sure if a library should outwardly be involved in specific causes, though. What do you think?
The most obvious improvement I could see for Care2 is expansion to include more categories of causes.
