Week 6

The "Explore" for this lesson was pretty interesting. I enjoyed picking out my books on the Library Thing website, as well as, seeing how many other people are interested in the same books I read. The What Should I Read Next website wasn't as informational. They say they are still going through a process of gatering information, so I'm sure the website will be more accurate eventually.

Lesson 4

I was somewhat surprised to see that OCLS has some accounts on Myspace. I opened up the first one: www.myspace.com/ocls, and heard the song that's on there. Too funny. I've been listening to Harry and the Potters for a couple years now. It's always fun to hear them unexpectedly. I was thinking of them today actually. We had that guy perform in Library Central today and I was wishing Harry and the Potters would come and play. That would be too much fun. I actually saw them a few months ago. They played in down town at the Social. They're great performers and it's fun to see the little ones all excited.

Lesson 3 Findings

I really liked this weeks lesson. RSS feeds are amazing. There are so many websites you can subscribe to and it makes them so easy to find. I subscribed to the bookworm sites, some of the comic and gaming sites, dog lovers, exc. I also was able to subscribe to thesuperficial.com and iwatchstuff.com which are two sites I go to everyday.

I'm not exactly sure what's going on with the grokker site, but I typed "Philip K. Dick" to search and the map is pretty cool. Makes it easy to see what might interest you most or what you're looking for specifically.

All in all, awesome stuff.
