Thing 13

I like del.icio.us (i wish it had a more senseable name however) I think it does the same thing as rollyo but better. The only think I don't like about it is that I organize my bookmarks in to folders which when imported into delicious fly completely out the window (or I haven't figured out how to save it in folders yet) making it difficult to find something simply.

Thing 11

Oh Something I forgot to add about librarything. I really hope that they add CD & DVD storage features to the site because that would total rock.

One more thing - pay the $25 for the lifetime membership. It is completely worth it.

Thing 12

Part 3 asks - "Create a post in your blog about your experience and link to your search roll. Can you see a potential use for tools like this?"

Honestly I will just keeping using google. You don't have to sign up for goggle and a google gave me more hits of want I wanted anyway. Maybe I'm a admin asst. not a librarian I don't really see much use for this.

Thing 11

I discovered Librarything about a year ago. I use it to keep track of my books, because it had a much nicer layout than the excel spreadsheet that I was using. If you are seriously considering putting large amounts of book into your LibThing - do your self a favor and spend the $15 and buy a cuecat. It cuts the work down by hours.


BTW - my Libthing name is p_kryg if anyone is interested.

Thing 10

I love avatar creators. I used mine as my blogger image.

Thing 9

I liked the search engines but I really doubt I'll have any real use for them.

Thing 8

Frankly I could live without RSS and be very happy. There are only three blogs/new website that I read with any regularity and they all have shortcuts on my home desk top. Verdict on Bloglines - chunky & clunky & crashed on me twice.
