Delicious versus shelving

Hmmm, Delicious...
This one is not quite as fun as LibraryThing.  It is interesting though. Much more interesting than shelving which is what I need to go and do right now :)
Here is a link to my Delicious: http://www.delicious.com/Zoe1900

LibraryThing is fun

I really love LibraryThing. All I've done so far is to start compiling a long totally random list of books I like.  Everything from books I loved when I was a kid to stuff I read last weekend. Lots of fun! And obviously I have much more to do and explore here.

Commenting on 'comments'

I have just spent a frustrating and pointless time trying to leave comments on other blogs with no success. SO ANNOYING! 

Wikis!!!!

So I've created my own wiki with wetpaint and I cannot think of a single thing to write on it or what I would do with it.  It is just sitting there looking all pretty and empty. 

Had a look at some other wikis such as the Learning 2.0 wiki and found it all a bit confusing and messy to read through.

I find our Library wiki very useful and I think it works well as a tool for everyone to share information. 

My New York Subway

 

The NYC subway in 2010, looking way more inviting than the 1973 photos from Flikr.

 

RSS Feeds

Finally found the time to add some RSS feeds today.  I'm not sure how useful I will find this - will need a couple of weeks of actually using it I think.

Persephone Books
Guardian newspaper Top 10 books
The New Yorker Book Bench
New York Public Library Flikr photostream

New York Subway

 

  

Here are some delightful photos I found on Flikr.  They are from the U.S National Archives photostream and were taken in May 1973.  The subway trains that I took last year looked nothing like these pics.  Maybe I will bore you all further by posting one of my own subway photos so you can see the difference for yourselves...

The subway is a great way to get around NYC but I also walked and got the occasional cross town bus.  I usually just followed my sister around because we established early on that I have a fairly poor sense of direction and not the best map reading skills either.  Oh well.
