Week 5 - 12 LibraryElf

This was a super simple exercise. I can see its use, on the other hand it seems like a duplication of what Horizon does right now. The improvement over Horizon notifications is the fact that you can customize Elf to fit your needs (when and how to notify you of items on hold/overdue/etc). Now the challenge is to remember all my user names and passwords.
PS After playing a little more on this site I found out it is really terrific for keeping track of your library account!

Week 5 - # 11 LibraryThing

The library Thing is a wonderful website. It is very easy to create an account. I think I am going to have a lot of fun with it. Keep track of what I have read and enjoyed, and create a wish list for future reading.
In allcomsuming.com you can search for music, book, films and even food. I need to find out how to look for just a song, it only gave album titles.

I love customizing comic strips. I can see a lot of uses for this site. FDToys seems like fun also, I am just running out of time today. I got a great wallpaper from Image generators, also liked glittering the writing but have not found the way to incorporate it to my blog. I managed to meet myself in Meez (below). It was really like playing with paper dolls. I need to further check this out.

Week 4 post 2, Feedster, Topix, Technorati

I enjoyed Feedster searching capabilities. I found that most of the results were sales advertisements for your search keyword. Feedwidgets seem to be intriguing way to add feeds to your newsfeeder.

In Topix you can get news from just about anywhere, just plug in the name of the town/state. You can even find news on a foreign country by plugging the name of the country in the search engine.

Syndic8 must be very useful but I found it kind of boring. Now Technorati was a very fun site, with a multitude of very colorful choices for searching blogs.

I did find that the same news appeared in different sites.

Week 4 "Blogline"
