Thing 13: The Thing That Is a Thing in Name and Action, Library Thing

So here I go, blogging about Library Thing. It is blogolicious by the way. I have my Library Thing Widget on my widget bar now, and I finally figured out how to properly and easily install the Javascript so I'm not getting error messages. I had to put my widget into a widget so I could blog about blogging. Un-huh.

So, Library Thing.I am again not sure why I would want to make lists of my own books. I already own them you see, and I know which ones I own, so a catalogue of them is not really going to help me very much.

On a library related level, i can actually see many applications that make this an attractive application. I think it could be a very powerful presentation tool for a library's web presence, even in embedded class situations. Yes, I do believe that I think that is a great resource.One of the more useful so far. Used in conjunction with a small and well thought out wiki, I think I might just be able to...TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or not. It is hard to tell about these things.

So in poking around Library Thing, I enjoyed the Thingology section. I may just frequent that particular space in the future. Some of the social connection utilities in this Thing are yet again lost on me. I don't really see the point.To each his/her own though, and on-ward and upward in the list of Things, all the way to:


Thing 14!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
