Freebase does basically the same thing. Any topic can have discussions associated with it and since Subject, Genres, Authors, Books, Book Editions, etc are all topics you can basically organize around whatever facet interests you. You can also create separate domains with membership, administrators, activity notifications, discussions, etc. Tom _______________________________________________ Ol-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-discuss To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to [email protected]
