It's all about books, seriously

I actually explored Shelfari and signed up for Library Thing. Library Thing had quite a bit of information. In the Zeitgeist Overview there are several lists provided, including the 25 most reviewed books, top 75 authors, and top books. There are talk topics for those who want to discuss the books they have read and there are a variety of groups established: librarians, science fiction, non-fiction, to name a few. This site would be useful for Reader's Advisory, collection development and for small or personal libraries as a cataloging tool.

What a list of award sites. I looked at a few of them. Google docs made the list, we have been recommending it to people who are doing word processing as a method of saving their information and being able to access it later, instead of having them ask to use flash drives (which isn't allowed right now). It seems to be a good solution, several people have been really glad to know about it.

There were some genealogy sites that were interesting. Setting up the accounts is free. You can build your family tree, post pictures, and on the My Heritage site if you post a picture of yourself you can do a face recognition collage and see what celebrity you look like. On Geni you can build your family tree but only people in your family tree can see your profile. Amiglia is billed as Facebook for your family tree. There were many, many, many interesting sites. Too many to view in a short amount of time.

After a second attempt my trading card showed up. How cool!
