Well............I'm late and ontime

Somehow I didn't post about Library Thing at all. I've had an account with them for over a year, maybe longer. It's fun, but I just haven't had the time to really do it justice, so I'm not adding to it for the moment. When I have the time this winter, I plan to add to it, too. I belong to another aggregate site called Ravelry, too, and it is all about knitting. They both allow for entering all of your own information, which is soooooo time consuming, and then comparing with others and sorting accordingly. I love these sites, but they take up way too much time to get started properly.


As for RSS feed tools, I prefer to use my blogger account to search for new feeds. It is very easy to search by topic. Technorati would be a close second, but I seldom use it. I'm very much a creature of habit, so I use what I'm familiar with and don't search beyond it as long as it satisfies me.

Locate a few library related blogs.

Well.............I know several.

One of my favorites is http://lii.org. Librarians' Internet Index. They claim to have websites you can trust, and I do trust them. They are organized, much like libraries, by subjects, and there is a wealth of information.

http://www.tk421.net/librarylink/ This is Library Link of the Day and there is a new link each day. If you subscribe in your RSS feeder you will get the link daily without having to look for it.

There are many more, but these are two of my favorites that are library related.

RSS Feeds

This is one of those things that I've been doing for what seems like forever. I've had a Bloglines account for a really long time and keep adding to it. I've also started an account in Googlereader which does the same thing as Bloglines, but because I've been using Bloglines longer, I'm more comfortable with it and use it more.

I've added so many blogs and news feeds that it takes me a while to read the list of new entries occasionally. It's so nice to see the new entries in bold, though. The Beta version of Bloglines upgrade is a bit different, too, and I guess because of familiarity once again, I prefer the original version. Oh, well, I'll change when they make me change and be happy about it, too!

I use bloglines for news, Pamunkey blogs, family blogs, and particularly knitting blogs. I subscribe to several really popular knitting blogs and also found a new one about sewing that has hit the top 100 blogs just recently. It is Sew Mama Sew! Blog. Take a look.

If you'd like to see my Bloglines go to www.bloglines.com/public/spiral2222 Enjoy, especially if you're a knitter!

Myspace.com is really innovative, to say the least! I don't use it, personally, but my daughter does and she found out about a high school class reunion on Myspace way before it was announced in the local paper. I saw Jaime's posting about Myspace and was about to show you the same page she did. So.............instead of me posting the band site, I'll give you the link to Jaime's site. She is innovative, too!!!
