What a great idea--what a neat concept--what a disappointment! The promise is such an exciting tease and then the results are so very disappointing! You create a search engine for a topic--dutifully copying and pasting URLs--but when you use your search engine the screen is cluttered with other things, and, perhaps I just didn't do it correctly, you are not directed to the websites' homepage but who knows what! Big thumbs down!! Bottom line--worthless, waste of time.

This sight really helped to indulge the listmaker in me! Also, I love to tell others about books I have read.

Flickr has Porn

Guess what picture I saw when I did a search for "books"? I wish I could have added it to my blog but, alas!, the picture of three nekkid women squeezing each others' ahem! stuff was not bloggable! In all seriousness, parents--be warned!!!!

Library Links

Who would have thought that librarians would come up with so many web sites? Are their libraries less busy than ours? Are they single w/o children and hence able to spend large quantities of time writing endlessly about their professions? Does the high number of blogs indicate that librarians--as a group--need to get a life?

RSS Feeds aka SPAM I asked for

I have mixed feelings about the whole idea of RSS feeds...it's like a mailbox full of spam because even if you wanted that info initially it quickly becomes too much... Bloglines is uninspiring, awkward, and ugly. The Google reader is better.

Learning to Love Learning

The step I find the most difficult is using technology to learn. This really moves me out of my comfort zone. I have to learn something new to learn something?!? On the other hand, I enjoy sharing with others what I have learned--the bonus being is that it helps to cement things into my brain.
