OK folks, I've spent WAY too much time on this today! First off I took a look at del.icio.us and found that it would fill no practical need for me at all.
Then I played around on technorati which was actually kind of fun. I was interested to learn what the top 100 "subscribed to" blogs are as I'm fascinated by popular culture and what types of information the general public is interested in. I mucked about with the tags that were of interest to me and found that they can lead you to some totally irrelevant sites. Kind of like a "general keyword" search which drives me nuts in its broad scope.
As to wikis - well - hmmmmm. I absolutely see that there could be fabulously practical uses for these but I'm still hugely uncomfortable with the fact that anyone can accidentally or deliberately change your post to a wiki. As a matter of fact I just now almost accidentally changed one in Sheldon's Play House! Eek.
I was led to a website for book discussion mavens called BookMovement.com which I really liked even though it didn't have any discussion questions for the book I'm talking about tomorrow here at SC! That's ok, I don't generally use the questions anyway, I was simply testing the efficacy of the site. Also found out that we can post book reviews of our own to WorldCat. That was an eye opener.
I managed to get my blogspot posted in Sheldon's Play House but couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get some of my vacation photos up there. Lucky for you guys - you won't have to be bored with those! That's all the techie stuff I can handle for today.
