I came across a really interesting website which is a living library.
“Issuu is the place for online publications: Magazines, catalogs, documents, and stuff you'd normally find on print. It's the place where YOU become the publisher: Upload a document, it's fast, easy, and totally FREE. Find and comment on thousands of great publications. Join a living library, where anyone finds publications about anything and share them with friends”

This looks like a great concept and looks to me like an extension to the idea of a blog. You can post your own designs and documents and have your friends, peers and even strangers comment on them. It is another form of collaboration and yet another example of how technology is encouraging ‘online’ communities.
In my professional career I think that the living library concept could be of value and could help to increase usability of the documents I may one day produce. It is a skill to step away from something you are so close to and put yourself in the shoes of your audience so, this site may be of assistance in doing this.
