Can't like em all

Well 2 outa 3 aint bad odds I cant expect to like all the things that are in the course. Del.ic.ious is not something I would ever use. It got to the point were I went and did an hours shelving to get away from it. I guess it's because unlike a lot of the other sites it doesn't spark my imagination where you look at a thing and think "If I just tweek it this way then you know that'd be great for...." and I can see me intergrating it into the system but Delicious just left a bad taste in my mouth. I get how it could be great for tagging sites but I find it more helpful to just tag the items like the SLQ catalogue site allows.

Enough on the bad now for the fun. It's always fun to pick up useless information and technorati let me jump from one blog to another grazing on the thoughts of a vast herd of blogs like a contented old milker lol. What a laugh regardless of how random a search I still come up with something whether it's dagging, orchids in Australia, or even "Double Dog Dares" I love this site for the entertainment value alone.

LibraryThing is another one I like. I've browsed this site on and off for a few years now (wouldn't create a bookshelf of my own because I've got way to many books in my home library lol). It's the sharing aspect that is something I'll be looking into more closely. With the local studies collection it'd be good to be able to compare what we have in our collection and what other people have collected that we might want to think about adding to our collection.

All in all a good bit of fun.
