Library Thing ... when I first created my account, I was feeling like it was a bit over the top. I mean, who has time for this stuff? Don't these people want to read their books and work at their jobs and ... what the heck are they doing on the computer cataloguing books?!? However, on second visit, I think I'm intrigued. There are a couple of member recommendations that look fantastic. I'm going to visit my local library - http://search.cambridgelibraries.ca/search - and reserve some books! My Library Thing account can be viewed here: http://www.librarything.com/profile.php?view=wendyhoo.As for Green: because you can ... well, it's very odd. It seems to be not so much a forum for information; rather, it's a platform for advertising OTHER facebook groups. The "fan photos" are a combination of advertisements and scenic vacation shots - very pretty but what's the point? Many of these photos have been updated recently but there has been no activity from the creator since January 2008?? Hello? Anybody home? When visiting the link for the new website, obviously other's have been equally confused. There is nothing there; just a logo. What a waste because they obviously have a strong following.
Irregular and inconsistent communication must be the worst mistake a non-profit can commit. I clicked through to the web-site which seems to redirect me to a page called Squared World Enterprises. What's with this? From the comments left behind, obviously there are some other raised eyebrows here. Oddly, the site doesn't lead me anywhere which I find unsettling.
At any rate, I don't really enjoy Facebook: I find it's too slow and clunky; I don't like my clients sometimes finding me there; and it's a real time waster with very little benefit. It would be okay if I could pull feeds from it, but after checking, I don't think I can. It doesn't recognize Bloglines so I would have to create a different account in Twitter or Blogmarks. Not ready for that level of net connectivity quite yet!
I was hoping to attach a song that my husband recorded and has enjoyed some on-line success through a contest called RPM Challenge. However, I quickly realized that uploading 49 M using my out-of-date computer was going to take WAY too long. Instead, for a little musical interlude, I will redirect you to his MySpace page. May I introduce you to The King of Fisher Mills? My favourite song is "Sold My Soul". Hope you enjoy.
