Library Thing

http://www.librarything.com/addbooks.php?welcome=1

It was great to discover Library Thing. Since people who work in libraries are book lovers, it's great to classify your favorite books. And it's so easy to use!!! I love the tags for easy reference. Now I'll have to take that long list of "books I want to read someday" and enter it into Library Thing

Bookmarks

Bookmarks are a great way to organize the information in your favorite websites. And tags are a wonderful means of finding that information quickly. It's also very useful to see the tags other people use and to read their comments . I think bookmarking would enable you to reasearch more easily and efficently

My Space

It was an interesting experience to set up a my space account. I liked the potential it offered - information about oneself and especially a space for friends, and how friends need to be approved first. I just wished it was safer.

Also, the other day while I was as Starbucks I overheard two young people talking about their myspace accounts. That was really fun. I felt in touch with what they were doing. However, I did hear them say they don't use the account much anymore and have moved onto something else (didn't catch what that was). My space might be going out.

Social Networking

I think libraries getting envolved in social networking is great. We are a good influence on teens, and by offering them a site in, for example, my space, we become a place for teens to turn. I hope the library always stays in center of the teenage world as well as in the center of everyone's world. It's obvious that the internet has changed everything and we must change with it.

Blogline's Search Tool

I liked the bloglines search tool the best. To my surprise, it was a tool I turned to last after Feedster and the other feeds proved more frustrating. Part of the problem might have been that I ran into firewall here at work.

Overall, I found it harder to go to my favorite sites and searching for feeds. Blogline's search tool gave me feeds beforehand. This sure is interesting, and I'm learning a lot!! 'Walking Paper and 'Tame the Web' sound really interesting!!

NPR rss feed

Again, this was great fun to enter into a world I've never heard of. I've always liked NPR and now to be able to get syndicated news without adds is great!! I imagine I'll use this a lot. Up until this point, I've always just listened to NPR

Retrievr frog

I was really delighted to find retrievr. This was so great and absolutely fun. Nothing could be more wonderful that drawing (and in different colors in the same picture) and finding pictures to match. I could do this forever
