I may never use LibraryThing for professional use, though I can see how someone might discover new academic materials using it, but I sure am going to be using it for my personal reading. I've already discovered new titles and new authors that I want to explore. This caught my attention more than most of the new tools and toys we've experimented with this summer! I will recommend it to anyone who reads...

Privacy concerns are bigger than I had bothered to think about, but obvious when you consider traditional warnings about care in posting personal information on the web. Facebook just seems so innocuous and just plainfun. I find it hard to keep in mind that we have to be careful, sensible, rational, reasonable... cautious.

I am feeling a little like that teacup being blasted by a firehose. I don't know how to make it more manageable - I find that I start one interesting activity, learn it poorly, and then move on to something else that's caught my attention! So how does one get a handle on all this stuff?

I also wonder, are blogs really out of fashion or what?
