#9: Merlin

I had never heard of Merlin before, but what a great site with a lot of potential. What kind of software are they using to power it? Wouldn't it be great to use this type of technology for our MCPL intranet? I like the calendar features, and the forums, which could be a great way to reduce my never ending email clutter problem. Instead of email discussion threads, we could move our discussions to a threaded discussion forum that would be archived and all in one place. The widget of the month is a fun feature too - always looking for new toys.

Found the Merlin RSS feed icon, and I subscribed using Live Bookmarks in my Firefox browser. Live bookmarks are one of my favorite web things. Did you know that IE 7 has live bookmarks now too, and tabbed browsing? We just got our new computers here in Collection Development complete with IE 7. Sweet! So fast - extra ram goes a long way.
