Library thing is awesome and fun!!!
I added books by Danielle Steel and Joel Osteen.
I'm really not to interested in the social aspect of Library thing
but it is interesting to read other people's thoughts on books I like and don't like.

I find it to be a vital part of understanding a readers interest, so that the libraries can make proper orders on books and other items.Library thing.com makes it easy to keep up with items that I like and items that patrons are reading.Library thing.com is a good way of learning about new and different authors,its important to put books in the system that people can really learn from and enjoy.

DIGG THIS- THING 15

The word D-I-G-G reminds me of a mole rat in the dirt making his next hole to hide from the sun...
Digg changes the way people consume information online. It provides alternative means to keep up with current events.It allows its user to easily view and blog about videos news and images sumitted by the community. I like how Digg trys to promote jobs online in a postive fashion but i dont think its good how the system only works when users actively participate.This takes up alot of time,I dont have!!!

DEL*ICI*OUS -14-
Bookmarking can be effective and quick, it also easy to learn.
I don't have that many favorites and therefore Delicious is not that useful.
I placed book marks on myspace and facebook!!!!

Tagging seems confusing to me.........
I can see how it would be helpful for librarians,but probably not necessary for the patrons.
Anything that eliminates folders is music to my ears.Everyday we fill out any were from 10-20 new patron applications and its hard to keep adults and juvenile separate.I prefer too keep them separate because it easier to look up.If I could utilize tagging in our system I would tagg the words Juvenile and Adults,this would be less time consuming and less paper work to sort.

thing 12

Today I began my twitter journey,
In many ways it reminds me of face book,
Am starting to understand that these are simple ways for pepole to socialized
Its all a little too much for me-I would consider myself anti/social
Twitter/Face book its fun ,but highly over rated

Using instant messaging is kind of like speaking in a new language. I understand the need for speed and of course time is always an issue, but instant messaging is more of a hassle than it is useful. I don't have many contacts because am not always on line.When I chat I like to do it in person.Instant Messaging is an excellent tool for people who live in different time zones and work on opposite schedules.

23 things has introduced many forms of building social networks... face book, my space, and Ning. All three basically help people become more social. I can count on one hand my real friends, I feel facebook, my space, and ning are a little over rated!

There is positives and negitives to everything-I will try to keep in open mind to all this new age, fast changing tecnology, but i just dont understand why anybody would need so many friends.
