Thing 17 Libworm

Libworm is yet another RSS feeder. It is interesting when you have need of that sort of thing but as with most of these things I am starting to be overwhelmed with items that do the same thing. Yes i understand the need for these and choice is good. I looked up dragons and got several hits, not so with buffalo soldier. I guess its on with the next thingy!

Thing 16 Librarything

I like this site. It is yet another social site but it differs in that its draw is books. I have been a voracious reader since I was in 5th grade. I read every book our school had on vampires and scared the snot out of myself untill I was in Jr. High.(You can thank my cat too, who used to scratch at my window when he wanted in!!!) I added my favorite book Dracula, of course and then the Terry Goodkind Sword of Truth Series. I also added the Elric Saga too because i am a huge Moorecock fan as well as McKiernan too. Where I am already a member of so many social sites now I can hardly keep track of them all (and have forgotten a few). Well I guess it on the blog the next thingy!

Thingy 15 Digg

While I didn't sunscribe to Digg, I did read a few articles. One was about the Dude Phenomenon. It was about my favorite movie and cult classic the Big Lebowski. It has now eclipsed the Rocky Horror Picture Show ith that status. I also read one on the Clinton's trip to Africa, and adds that make you think twice a bout drunk driving. I didn't think the adds were so bad but having been in that type of trouble myself i steer far away from repeating the mistakes of my past. Yet more to write, stay tuned.

Thing 14 Delicious

Well I can see how Delicious can be useful to some people. I personally don't have a need for the services of Delicious at this moment. I signed up for delicious but didn't install the additional software at this time I went ahead and marked some of my own favorites I had marked already. They are Newsarama.com, Its The least I could Do, and Anima Designs.
Well I guess that is all on Delicious. I already did all 23 things but am just now getting to Blogging them. I shall be back shortly.

Thing 13 Tagging

Well, I like tagging....wait....I mean the computer kind. LOL!!!!! I like clicking on one word links that send you off on a tangent while you are reading an article,etc. It would be interesting and quite useful to have it on our catalog at work but I believe that our system cannot do such things. Or at least that is what a co worker told me, who is in tech services. (You know who you are.) I guess that is all I have to say on tagging. On to the next thing.

Thing 12 Twitter

Ok I see the reasoning behind Twitter but I personally don't want to know every thing a person does at every minute of the day. I could possibly use this if I was traveling somewhere and was worried about where I was going or where I was at. I am afraid I really don't care about anyone enough to know their life every minute. Maybe I'm just tired, as it is close to time to go. I'll make sure I am a little more upbeat tomorrow. Thanks all and have a good day!

Thingy 11 Instant Messaging

Hi all again. Instant Messaging or IMing is not really new to me. I have been IMing for quite a while too. I used to use a IM program but now Facebook and YahooMail both have IM incorperated programs. The one in YahooMail is an aggregator as well as it can use multiple IM programs. I use my IM to talk to my college buddy Jason who works at a women's prison in Oklahoma. I also use it to send secret messages to my co-workers if there is something interesting going on. LOL!!!!! I use IM on Facebook occasionally when talking to friends who are across the country. Guess thats all I have for IMing. Now onto Thingy 12.
