Week 7 Discover 2

Ok I played with Techonrati earlier (back around week two or somthing) and I wasn't really impressed with the site, yes it allows you to search for blogs, but is it really user friendly? Not really. And after playing with it again this week I'm still not a huge fan of it. But having said that it does get around to making links to a lot of blogs. I was really surprised, ok so I was really tired at the time and wanted something mindless to search for, I did a search for my user name to see if it had picked up this blog yet but found that it had found my other blog over on Live Journal. Very cool I must admit :0D Ok and I will admit that it was easier to use now that I am more familiar with it....but for those who are new to Technorati...maybe not.

Library Thing is WONDERFUL. I love it :o) It's a one stop pit stop for all those who love to read! And the fact that you can sort your own library and books you've read is just so much FUN! Also good if you know what your looking for so that you can see what other people have thought about it (no more getting stuck buying really crappy books) and you can leave your own reviews....what better way of sharing books are there (ok for you purists out there the face to face way is probably preferable, but for those of you like me who tend to read at 2am and do computer stuff at odd hours it just rocks!) But more on my adventures with Library Thing in my next post...when I have more than 30 seconds to spare :o)
