Thing #13 - Del.icio.us

Well I spent quite a bit of time on this exercise and even created an account with some bookmarks and tags. The usefulness of this tool has not surfaced for me yet. I think I need to play around with it some more.

Thing #12 - Rollyo

I played around with this for a little bit and personalized my account towards my interests and favorite websites. I like this consolidation factor and grouping concept. I'm not one to sit on the internet very long so this will cut down on the browse time.

Thing #11 - LibraryThing

I created my LibraryThing account (www.librarything.com/catalog.php) and selected 13 romance books that I have read and really enjoyed for my library collection. I had a lot of fun setting this up and will really enjoy using this. I practically have my own library at home with the romance books I have purchased from our Friends bookstore so I think this will help me get those organized.

I'm surrounded. They are coming at me from all directions. The phone is ringing non-stop. What should I do, where should I go? Oh God, help me!!!

Thing #9 - Feed Search

The Blogline's Search Tool was awesome and very user friendly. I found a great site on romance books by the Hennepin County Public Library in Minneapolis, Minnesota. By using the Blogline Search Tool I found 5 new feeds to add to my blogline account.

Thing #8 - Bloglines

Unbelieveably, I got a blogline set up without much trouble. I selected 11 feeds and have already browsed through several. I'm not one to keep up with the news so my feeds are on things I'm interested in (i.e. animals). I think this is a good way to discover new websites relating to your interests.

Thing #7 - TeVA Image

This is the opening ceremony of the Rutherford County hospital around 1924. Wow, impressive for its time.
