Consumating.com [Thing 19]

For this "thing", we were supposed to explore one site out of a super long list of award winning sites. After searching almost all of them, I've decided to write about consumating.com. Consumating is a social networking site that joins people by tages they use to describe themselves. There is also a rating system for people too. Instead of spending hours browsing through hundreds of people to find someone with common interests like one might on myspace.com, you just type in a tag and everyone who entered that tag when they describe themselves comes up. The site also has various questions to answer in a clever and witty way. I signed up for an account [couldn't help it] and it's pretty good for late night net time on the weekends. Other than that I don't use it much.

The only use for this that I could see in a library setting is joining people who care about the library together.
