6.13 delicious

I have finally made it to number 13. I am still not comfortable with tagging but I want to work with delicious more. I would like to have all my bookmarks in one place as I may want to look up something at home from work but do not remember the url or my exact search term. I think I could use my computer a lot wiser if I just took the time to play with it and the internet more. I just get frustrated if something goes wrong or th computer goes down.

5.12 Rollyo

Okay, I am really out of date. I use Yahoo when I search the internet. Once in awhile, I try Google. But I think if you could use Rollyo to build your own search engines for specific needs, it would be an aid in research, even in your entertainment. I would guess subject bibliographers would want to create a search engine for their subject area for students to use for papers, discussion groups, etc. This would also apply to professors.

5.11 The Library Thing

I like the LibraryThing website. My husband will tell you though that the last thing I need is a recommendation on another book to read. It would take me awhile to put all the books we have at home into my catalogue. I have not read them all yet but I am working on it. It was neat to be able to list my sister-in-law's (Chuck"s sister) book. It was a dream come true for her to publish a novel. It is an excellent book. I am hoping for the sequel soon.

I am not sure how many of the sites we are looking at I will go back to in the future after we finish the 23 Things but LibraryThing will be one I do check out once in awhile.

5.10 Image Generators

I looked at a couple of the image generators. I thought this was time consuming but fun. I guess I am old fashion because I still use Yahoo as my search engine. I found this on http://www.fodey.com/generators/animated/wizard.asp. You could pick talking flowers or tomatoes too but I thought I would try the owl. A couple of the sites were too technical for me and one looked like it had a lot of useful tools but it hadn't been updated since 2002.
