First of all I added my blog to the Favorite Blogs list.

Secondly, Web based apps... I think we see right now how they'd be useful. Three words Microsoft Office 2007. I have received a few emails recently that I can't view because they were written in Office 2007 and I have 2003. If they were typed in an online document I wouldn't have that problem. Again, online applications make life easier. You can access information from more than one place without obstacles.

Lulu.com seems neat. Being able to publish your own book and share it with the world is awesome. I like that you can sell your creation and the way it can bring people with similar interests together. The concept of online has the potential to revolutionize the way authors publish their work. Why only try a publishing house when you can do it yourself and reach a larger audience. I'm not sure how this particular application could be used to benefit the library.
