This YouTube video is an example of how we, as information professionals, might extend the affordances of a book by adding social features. Can social tools increase the value of interactions we have with books? Or, should reading be a solitary act? What are the implications of new technologies being added to analog tools such as books and journals? (For background on Marginalia see http://www.chrisrbecker.com/marginalia).
