Based on his presentation at the 2009 OLA SuperConference in Toronto, his article Shiny Toys or Useful Tools? discusses trends and presents over 30 success stories.
“We’re out of the shiny new toy phase for blogs (and
wikis). I’m guessing most libraries these days will only
start blogs after making reasonably certain the blogs
will serve real purposes and will be updated regularly.
I’m guessing very few library people start blogs in the
expectation of becoming rich and famous.”

SciTopics
is a free, wiki-like service for the scientific community, where
scientific experts summarize specific scientific topics, and where
links to the latest, most relevant journal literature and web sources
are presented on one page. There are also lots of RSS Feeds. From Elsevier.

Wiki engines are some of the most versatile platforms for creating websites out there. MediaWiki (the engine that powers Wikipedia) is probably the most widely used, but there are literally hundreds of other wiki engines. We previously covered more than 30 of these apps in our first Wiki Toolbox. Here are more than 100 others to meet your every wiki need.
