Week Six: Delicious and Library Thing

So, Delicious has cheered me up a little from the Wiki debacle. 

I can see great benefit in social bookmarking, it will mean that I don't have to hobble from the work room to the librarian's office on my busted toe to see those wall stickers. I can just click on her tag cloud and browse all those favourite sites at my (seated) leisure.

I created an account on Delicious with the view of keeping it long term, however, it was showing way too much of my personal info (having linked in to my legit Yahoo account). So, I deleted that one and started again.  You can find me here    I am hoping to add to this list the rest of my suppliers and other sites of interest, and use it to keep track of all those cool products I find while researching (in all that free time I have).  I can also see how it will be useful for my customers and library clients.

On to Library Thing.

Library Thing is awesome, I love it! Sadly I don't seem to be able to prioritse reading for entertainment at this point in my life, by the time I get home from work, spend some time with the children and catch up on my business stuff, getting to sleep is much higher on my list of priorites than reading.  I really do love to read though so hopefully things will settle down again soon and I can get back into it!  I have added some titles to my Library Thing library and will get to that widget now.

I can see how useful Library Thing is in a public library setting, I think that my mums' group 'Book Club' should start our own account - perhaps we could turn book club into more than an excuse to disappear for a few hours in the evening once a month!
