OffTopic - LibGuides pt 2

LibGuides, from Springshare, is a very interesting online system for libraries. You can list any kind of information, make different subjects, and tag items. You can post a poll to get user input. This is a link to the demo site, which has video instructions. I like this option quite a bit.
This is a quote from their site:

A Guide in this system can be any content that you create, on any topic, for any purpose. You can create as many Guides as you want. Don't be shy. Share you knowledge with others and point them to useful resources and information within your library and on the Internet.
Your Guides consist of pages, and each page is represented by a tab on your Guide.

They also have LibMarks for bookmarks and tagging. Their demo site has links and most of the links go either to blogs or webpages. I'm not sure how useful this would be.

It looks interesting, but it is a subscription site and there is no clue to the cost.
