When Missouri River Regional Library absorbed the idea for their own learning2.0 program they designated, for Thing#22: exploring Google Labs.
I started my trial of google lab's notebook before this 23Things endeavour ... I love it, although... I wonder whether I'll ever be able to post my notes to a blog rather than just publishing to a random alphanumeric googlepage.
In the spirit of exploring audiobooks: if you know where to look (within 'online databases') my local public library has Tumblebooks, but so far as I could see nothing for adults, and nothing downloadable like NetLibrary. This was a little disappointing: after exploring Garfield County Library's protopage (thanks to Helene Blowers' pointer) to find that their patrons can easily download a wide variety of audiobooks (through the Marmot Library Network)
In contemplating tags for this post it occurs to me that audiobooks - while a potentially valuable service (when they can be downloaded) - don't have the social elements of web2.0'ness. Would we want them too? Why not - I'd love to comment on, tag, and receive recommendations relating to items in my local public library's online catalog like patrons can at Ann Arbor District Library. If I had access to audiobooks I'd probably enjoy the same features in their catalogue.
So, please tell me if anyone has seen an audiobook provider with 2.0 features.

2. Apparently blogspot requires that we allow third party cookies for the darn feature to work. Sorry, nothing I can do about it - Google will lead you to instructions.
3. I don't generally post on contentious issues so I don't expect problems.
However, I will delete comments I consider:
disrespectful, destructive, irrelevant or SPAM, (even sucking up: praising my post without reason while linking to a business site).
