Library Thing vs. Good Reads

OK, I think this was my favorite exercise so far. I'm constantly looking for good books to read and I had previously found Librarything to be helpful. However, after signing up for Good Reads I think I like them better. I like the fact that it was kind of like Facebook where you could invite all your friends on your email list to join. It seems a bit more interactive to me. I also like the way Good Reads lets you review your book lists and so on. I wish that Good Reads would have the recomendations like Librarything does, but overall I like Good Reads the best.

Tagging and Delicious

It took me awhile to figure out how to navigate around delicious--but once I figured it out I really like it. I can see how delicious would be an asset to many professions--like teachers and librarians. I also think it could take forever to sift through all the bookmarked websites to see which ones are actually useful. I would be totally lost. But then again I never fully realized how many millions of websites there are out there.

So, can I see the potential of delicious as a research tool? Sort of. But it is definitely a good way to bookmark your websites and access them anywhere.
