Library Thing

Well, I think I could really like this application. I have an extensive library at home and this would be a great way of keeping track of my books. Unfortunately - it requires major work on my part. Maybe a job for the future. I think a person could really use this library thing. It does not seem as intrusive to me as twitter does. While I just gave this library thing a quick overview - it is something that I will spend more of my own time looking at in detail. I must say that so far this is the first thing that has gotten my interest.

twitter

Well, I opened a twitter account - very user friendly. Now I just have to start using it. I still would rather phone or speak to my friends in person. Really I don't know many people who "tweet" I guess I just have to get with the times - I am still living in the dark ages. . My twitter page is http://twitter.com/whitgal. Leave me a "tweet"!!

10 RSS and newsreaders

Well, I found this week a bit more interesting. I subscribed to 2 WPL blogs, 1 newspaper and 1 tv stn as well as 2 library sites. I do see the value in subscribing to the news items as it allows you to view the highlights. I do however maintain that all this time spent viewing items electronically takes away from human contact. I wonder if that is not why people blog - to get some sort of human interaction in this hi tech world. Wouldn't it just be better to actually talk to someone about your thoughts. Is our world getting so rushed that we cannot find the time to actually communicate with actual words, facial expressions and heaven forbid - a gentle arm touch!!!

Do we really need to know all this information immediately!!!
