Podscope

I found podscope difficult to search for something of interest. I did listen to a small piece on NPR about pain management. It appears to have a lot of information if you know how to find it. I prefer something like aol video which is a lot easier to navigate. Here I was easily able to find videos on comedy, music, news, etc.

Facebook

I am not much into social networking or giving personal information on the computer, so this site is not of much interest to me. I did import my blog and found one friend, Marf!

Bloglines

I'm not sure about all this blogline stuff, but I am trying to figure it all out. It has really been a challenge. I do have some new fun words to add to my vocabulary - widgets and chicklets!! There is an end to this, isn't there?

Something To Think About

Library Thing

I find this site the most fun for me thus far. I have cataloged a few of the books that I have read and loved seeing the book covers. Mentally I guess it helps me better remember what the book was about. I liked the reading suggestions and looking at what other readers are interested in. This is one place I will definitely visit in the future.

LibraryElf

I like the concept of this site because I love to keep things organized. However, unless you are using many libraries, checking out many books or keeping track of various patrons I don't see it as being very practical. Also you would need to have access to a computer to check on a regular basis.
The bestseller lists, reviews, and book clubs are informative if you want to use this site for that information.

My Space

I find it totally amazing that people are so free with their personal information. I have noticed that this is one of the most popular websites the teens are using at this libray, when I asked them why, they said "It's just way cool!" I realize that there are ways to filter and protect your privacy, however I am afraid some of the younger people disregard these options and volunteer too much information. It's nice that they have a way to communicate and make friends but I wish they were more discreet. I guess you can just call me old fashion!
