Res XIV

I had been wondering for some time now how one goes about getting their blog "noticed" by the world and with the help of Thing 14 now I know. Technorati was a fun site to explore, but I don't think I will be visiting it much. As I've stated before I'm not a big Internet user, I don't spend a lot of time looking for and reading other people's blogs, so Technorati is not really for me. But at least now, if I ever do decided I need to read a blog on bee keeping or on the latest technological gadget, I know where to go to search for it!

Del.icio.us is a neat site, but once again I don't think I will find much use for it as I don't do a lot of bookmarking. I do, however, see how other people and especially other librarians might find this site useful.

I must say it was difficult for me to come up with a subject to create a search for on Rollyo. I generally just use Google when I need to find information on something, so I don't have a huge repertoire of much used and trusted search sites on any one specific topic. But after much thinking I was able to pull something together - a search engine for Classical info (although I do have to admit that I found several of the sites used in the Classical search through Google). All in all, I think I will stick with Google. It seems faster, easier and, as other people have mentioned in their blogs, limiting yourself to just a few sites is an easy way to overlook some new site that could prove quite helpful.

I love LibraryThing, it makes me so happy. It is also something I knew about and used before my adventures in 23 things. The best part is, now that I'm fully moved into my new apartment I can start adding all my books that were hidden away in boxes. Hmm ... at the rate I'm going I might need to upgrade my LibraryThing account - 200 books just isn't enough!
