Thing #11 Library Thing

I created an account on library thing and added 5 books that I read recently. After exploring the site I can see how useful it is to track what you're reading and find other interesting books. The reviews are helpful and this could also be a great tool for book clubs. Here's the link to my catalog: http://www.librarything.com/catalog/katreid

Thing #10 Online Image Generators

Today I looked at several online image generators. I ended up creating this pop art poster that I found on FD Toys and an avatar from yahoo which I posted for my picture on my profile for this blog.

Thing #9 Merlin and others

Okay subscribed to Merlin Maryland Libraries. Tried to look at Feedster but apparently they're dead. Looked at Topix and Technorati and saw some other interesting things to subscribe to like South American News and then I decided to add the NYT book review as well. All the news out there is rather overwheming. Definitely in danger of information overload at this point. Not sure what's wrong with Syndic8.com but could not get that link to open either.

Thing #8 RSS Feeds

I created a bloglines account which would have been easier if they had sent me the verification email as they state on the site. Not sure why I never received it but suddenly it seemed to be working anyway. I subscribed to some RSS feeds including the Washington Post Book World which I read weekly anyway and some other librarian related sites. I also subscribed to a few other sites of interest. I hope this will save me some time or perhaps it may use more of it as I see more sites that interest me. So here is the link to my bloglines account: http://www.bloglines.com/public/katreid
