librarything

Seems like it could be a useful tool for helping with readers advisory and such, but I don't think I'm an avid enough reader to make playing around in a site like this time worth spending. Having said that, I did however find a book that I'd like to read while playing in the site, so perhaps it was more beneficial to me than I want to admit.

flickr

I don't see myself ever posting pictures, but it was interesting to be able to search on the map and pull up some recent fall pictures of a place I've been hiking in the blue ridge mountains in Virginia. Since I couldn't go there myself it was nice to be able to get a glimpse at the scenery through someone elses photos.

RSS

I'm having trouble keeping track of all my accounts, but the RSS feeds at least seem more useful and interesting (once I remembered how to get back to them). I like the push aspect, but I can see that the amount of info that gets pushed can be a bit overwhelming, as there is too much to sort through unless you want to devote a lot of time to sitting at the computer. Still, have found a few useful nuggets from the sites I suscribed to so far. Might acutally continue to use this one.
