Thing 14 Technorati @ Blog Posts

I don't spend much time on the computer, let alone reading blogs, because my spare time is spent being a mom (and my son hogs my computer).

Tagging is most useful in Library Thing (my new best friend), but until I have the time to compute for fun, tagging has no real use for me.

NOTE: I have tagged this post.

Netlibrary, Overdrive, et. al

Well, the downloadable books are not going to be listened to by me unless I complete Library 2.0. Since I own an Ipod and a Macbook, those are still unavailable.

THe tutorial by PLCMC was the best one of the lot. I do think it would be helpful if the tutorials all told what machines are compatible with the downloads BEFORE you spent what seemed like a long time watching and then finding out that what you own won't work with the software. Very frustratig.

Also, I think it was overdrive offer bait and switch advertising. THey showed a guy with an ipod (got my hopes up) and then at the end said that apple products were not compatible. Very BAD!

Delicious

Well, this is really worthwhile. I can have my bookmarks follow me wherever I go. Cool

Thing 12-Rollyo

Is a very interesting site. I found a great recipe site that will calculate and post all of the nutritional information on a recipe you input (www.recipezaar.com).

Now you really can know how many calories are in Mema's Sweet Potato Pie or Bubbe's Borscht...but it may be better not to know.

Thing 8-RSS Feed

I love NPR. Now with my RSS feed I can have all of the breaking news and top stories...fast.

Maybe I'll add--OOOOOO-Diane Rheme.

Thing 9-Library Related Blogs

This has been a very interesting looking at the various library blogs. "Alternative Teen Services" seems like it might be interesting, but it doesn't look like very many participate in posting. The comments made on the Ypulse blog were very enlightening, especially the "prostitots" article.

Technology Growing in Family Life

I read "something technology related" on the Pew Internet and American Life website. Very interesting site.

There is this report about the internets growing role in family life. It's really catching up to me. My cousin in Arizona saw the myspace page (made so my teens could talk to me) and got back in touch with me. My 11 year old now has his own blog that he wants me to regularly check.

He has always been communicative, but this is another way of keeping my finger on the "pulse" of his life away from home.
