Show me your Library Thang!!!

So I am officially a librarything "Thang". Check it out! If you clik on the title, it will take you to my librarything page...yeah, there are only five books in the catalog but it's a start! Boy, talk about super easy!!!! Couldn't get much easier than submitting a name and yes, a password. That's it, start cataloging your books and sharing your library!

Shelfari: same sort of cataloging "thang". to sign up, input your name and a password then start cataloging your books...they have "shelves that your books sit on; as if on display in a real library or bookstore. You can create an id photo and get into several different groups, groups that are all about tagging, groups that review the books you've read or are reading, you can find reviews on just about everything ever printed! Shelfari is cool cuz you can add as many books as you want. There is no limit or "upgrade" aaaannnddd Shelfari is homebased out of Lurvly Seattle! What do ya know?! No wonder every one at KCLS likes it...hmmm...

I also happened upon a site called listal. People can sign up and "list" their favorite movies, games, books, music, TV shows then review them, blog about them, enter chat forums, etc. I There are currently over 19,000 people; with list after list after list of books, music, movies, tv, dvd's, games...very fun to peruse...and lots of people chatting about everything under the sun that they just listed!

My husband is a catalog freak so I'll let him choose which site he would like our 'lurvly' book collection to reside.

Technorati and Tags really do work!!!!

Hey, I'm living proof (in a weird, tag about sort of way) that Tagging and Technorati really do work and might even be useful for something. Case in point:

Jennie Westlund has been doing her research on Technorati!!! In doing so, she came across a fellow blogger that goes by the name of Tagman. Let me share the e-mail she sent me this morning:

Suzy, Via technorati, found this fellow’s blog – and, hey, he links to the flickr group that YOU created! is that neat, or what – toot your horn! Jennie http://www.apogee-web-consulting.com/tagman/2007/03/tagmuse-learning-20-kcls27things.html

Cool huh?! We are getting out there KCLS friends!!!

So with this kind of a plug, I think it's only fair that all of you who take a peek at this blog should visit my flikr group and join!!! Add those pictures friends and lets really give Tagman something to look at!!!!
