Finders Keepers

At first, Anyssa and I laughed at the name "Delicious."  Let's be honest- its an awkward name for a site that searches topics or items out for you.  But in all truthfulness,  after spending about 2 minutes searching on it, I believe delicious describes the site perfectly.  I know personally how hard it is to find exactly what you are looking for just by searching through Google.  I started looking for a vacation rental in Hilton Head for the end of summer as a "Hooray I finished summer school!" trip through Google.  I become so frustrated at the amount of junk I found online that I just quit searching.  BUT-- I typed "Hilton Head vacation rentals" and found an abundance of great links.  I will definitely go back through them all at home to see what I can get!  Hooray for Delicious!

Google Reader is an interesting tool.  My husband, who tries to keep up with many different topics all day long, would probably really appreciate having every website or topic in the same place.  He would also add topics or subscriptions often.  As a teacher, I think I would use it a lot to keep myself organized and up to date on activities or topics pertaining to the subject area I teach. On a personal level, its not really my cup of tea.

Library Thing... I think people who put their CDs and books into an Excel spreadsheet (like my father) would love this website.  My Dad like to keep all the books he has read and wants to read in a spreadsheet which I receive around November every year, so that I know what to look for around Christmas season.  He is and has always been extremely organized.  This website would save him a lot of time and energy because he could simply type in the name of the book he has read or wants to read and keep it in a stored list.   I personally love wandering around McKay's bookstore in Knoxville looking the the next book in the series I'm reading or just finding one that seems like what I would like.  I don't think I would use Library Thing as much as my Dad. 

Overall, 1 out of 3 isn't bad, right?
