Week #6 - LibraryThing

LibraryThing is a cool tool to keep track of what I have read or what I want read in the future. Armed with a list of books that I'll get around to reading, maybe eventually, one day, I will...although lately I haven't been doing much leisurely reading.

Also a good place to read recommendations and reviews from other members.

Here's my LibraryThing library link:

Week #5 - del.icio.us - Social Bookmarking Tool

Del.icio.us is a great tool for saving bookmarks which can then be accessed from any computer with any browser anywhere in the world. I can see it being useful for sharing bookmarks with friends and colleagues as well as for tracking areas of interest and networking with other users. I like that one can easily discover web pages of interesting content and that the most popular bookmarks for any given tag can be seen. A good feature is that the user can choose to have their bookmarks made public (the default) or they can set them as private. I think del.icio.us is a pretty good tool!

Here is the link to my Del.icio.us page:

Week #4 - Flickr Photo Sharing

Flickr is great for storing, sorting, seeking and sharing photos online. I like the fact that one can share photos with the entire Flickr community, or securely and privately share them with Flickr users who are friends and family only.

You can view photos of my California trip at:

Week #3 - WIKIS

Wikis are a great aid when working on group projects. They offer a one stop place to edit and share information. I enjoyed this assignment and look forward to the next one!

I used to make these cookies at Christmas time using a similar recipe. I'll be testing this recipe out in the near future!
