Week 6

I had heard of Del.icio.us but hadn't had a chance to take a look at it yet, so this gave me the opportunity. It does seem like a good way to keep track of websites and bookmarks, especially if you work on different computers a lot, having it all on one site does seem to make more sense. I can also see how it could be used in the library context. Technorati however, I didn't get at all. I didn't bother joining or tagging anything because after having a look at the site, I thought it was a bit of a waste of time to be honest, just another way of doing the same thing - life is just too short for it really!! Nearly caught up now - just wikis to go!!

Week 5 Task - only 2 weeks late!

Thank goodness for the catchup weeks! I finally managed to take a look at LibraryThing, which I had never used before and it was great, especially the recommendation section, which will be useful if I'm ever short of something to read! It's a great idea and it was also good that I could link it to my blog. I had used GoogleBooks before and have always found it very useful and I know that students do too, particularly those based off campus who can't always get into the library. I had a quick look at the Web 2.0 Awards page too. Looking at the award winners just proves to me how little I know about Web 2.0 and how much time I could spend looking at all the different sites. Finding the time to spend on this project has been the most difficult part so far but I will persevere until the end!!
