Thing 12. Do You Digg?

This would be a good way to share information with other people that have the same interests as you do.

As far as it being a detractor or enhancer for productivity, it all depends on what is shared. Although, in this day and age I find that more and more people are goofing off when they are supposed to be working, and one of the biggest culprits is the Internet. So, once again we are back to the debate about whether the Internet helps or hurts libraries. It seems like a little bit of both to me.

I have read a few stories because of these sharing tools, so they are useful if they are used properly.
