Library Thing is interesting. It is very useful for a list of books I would like to read. But I was not able to find a way to add all of an author's books at once. This would be for a list of books already read. With prolific writers, it would take awhile to add them one at a time.

week 4, #9

There were lots of sites to explore here. I looked at: Second Life; There; Yahoo Avatar (this would have fascinated me as a teen ager); Food Forces; Washington Post Video mashups; Study Mates (good for reviewing for tests); Viritual Worlds. Topix was good. I found Social Networking confusing. I set up a Merlin account and will probably take at least one of the on-line courses offered through Library U.
I did not set up an Avatar. It involves entirely too much time, which I do not have. And at this stage of the game does not interest me.

WEEK 4, #8

RSS - Finally, something that may be useful for me. It is nice to be able to see what is in the publication without the bother of getting the actual print copy. This should save lots of time.
