Its a Library Thing

Just added some books to LibraryThing which I joined a few years ago but never again used. I am going to try GoodReads as a fellow librarian recommended it...all I truly want to keep track of is authors. I read a lot and often forget the titles of books, but I remember the authors I like! I know I liked the John Sanford Prey books, but it got so I couldn't remember which I had read! I also read Greg Iles, but there are books of his I don't like; I could use the rating system to denote which books I had read and liked or not.
It will be interesting see who has read the same books I have...and to see what else they are reading. Now I am going to check out blogs to see what others think of LibraryThing or GoodReads, and add one of their RSS feeds to my Google Reader.

RSS feeds

Third post today...catching up. Used Google's reader for RSS feeds; added many news/political sites, the NY Times best seller list and Epicurious's new recipe one. At home, it seems it would be just as easy to bookmark the sites; however, while on the desk it is easy to just go to the Google Reader to check out what is newly posted on all of them. Just wondering...at the end of this exploration, it asked that we add at least 3 RSS feeds from other explorers...where do we find them?

Flickr

Just found my blog listed; tried flickr and posted some pictures I had taken at the branch because of LATI. Since I don't own a digital camera...somewhat probematic to persue this. When I travel with my kids, they take the pictures and create disks; I borrowed one of their cameras when I went on safari in Africa and edited and posted the pictures on Google's Picasa which worked very well. Since I have so many, many, many pictures, I am not inclined to take more! One of my retirement goals is to go through all the boxes of pics and organize them more thoroughly...been meaning to do that for five years now!

Web 2.0: blogging

Just started Web 2.0 after completing LATI...thought it was interesting to set up a blog. Still am unsure how many people want to read other blogs; time is always an issue, keeping up with email and facebook as well as work!
