#27: Grokker

While reading the latest issue of Library Journal's Net Connect (Summer 2007), I came across this article about Grokker being used as a federated search product. I'm serving on the Library's committee, so read this with interest--and wondered with a bit of a whine why is the library world always behind the curve? Where were we when this was being created by Groxis? Okay, enough whining--went out to the Learning 2.0 to see what I could see.

Knowing that Grokker may be useful as a federated search engine, I couldn't get excited about searching only Yahoo, wikipedia, and Amazon. I'm more interested in how it's being used by other libraries, so will do some searching--will report back!
