Week 13, Things 21 & 22

I love Wordle!  I think I could play on it for hours.  Not sure what I would do with all of the word clouds I made though.  They are pretty and amusing but not terribly useful.  Hmm - that sounds like a line from a Jane Austen novel. 

LibraryThing was great.  Very useful - I can't wait to use it on my home computer.  My small family owns LOTS of books and I find it very frustrating that I can't easily determine what we own and what we have borrowed from the library.  This is especially true for my eldest - a voracious reader whose books all seem to have the same blurb on the back cover.  I can't tell you how many duplicates have been purchased/borrowed over the years.  On LibraryThing I could make lists of every family member's personal collections plus their "wanted" lists.  Yippee!  Finally a website that caters to my desire for organization.

I briefly looked at Smilebox.  I can see how it would be useful but it holds no appeal for me.
