LibraryThing observations

This is a great place to catalogue your books! Evyerone should have a complete list of all their titles. This way when you lend out a book to a friend, you can keep track of the information and actually get it back. Best reason to create a LibraryThing account is to keep a list of books I will get around to reading when I retire. I've started many a list but managed to lose most of them. Here are some of the titles that I've enjoyed and some titles that are my bibles.

Delicious Homework

Bookmarks are great for keeping you organized. How often do you cut articles out of the paper that have great information you will use one day only to find on the ONE day, it's no where to be found. Using a social bookmarking tool can eliminate bits of paper and frustration. Tagging is like creating your own thesaurus - specific to you. By adding tags to your bookmarks, you are really customizing the entries to be the most helpful to you.
So I think delicious is a pretty good piece of software.

Flickr upload

I've attempted the homework and so far it's not too difficult (thanks for the help Naomi)! I've searched around Flickr a little and it's amazing what people will share with complete strangers. Maybe it's easier to share with strangers you will never have to interact with than friends and family who know you too well.
