Delicious
Bookmarks are new for me, I had never used them before.  I am still feeling a little out of place.  I believe they will be of a great asset when I really learn how to use them.  I like that it saves sites of interest and one can share them with friends and family and can be access from anywhere in the world.

Google Reader
the Google reader constantly checks  for ones favorite sites and blogs for new content.  This is very nice because I can be informed of the new sites or blogs that are available for a certain topic of interest. Another interesting feature is that Goggle Reader shows all of the favorite sites in one place.   I can   have access to it from my gmail account, it is like a personalized inbox.   Reader also keeps track of which items a person has read, I find this very convenient.  I think I will start using Google Reader and believe is going to be of great help to me.  I can use it in my future when I will need to look for books related to my teaching and also to help students search for books that they might need to use in class.

Library Thing

Library Thing is the world's largest book club.   This is a cataloging and social networking site for people that love to read book.  It helps create a library-quality catalog of books.  this is done online so other people can also catalog together.  A person can contribute tags, ratings and reviews for a book.  the members can also participate in a member forum and everyone can benefit from everyone else's work.  It is easy to add books to your catalog.  I really like this idea of cataloging  books online and share with other people and other people can access my catalog also.  I believe that Library thing will be of great help for me in the future, it will help me look for books that I will need and i can access other peoples online catalogs to see what they have in the specific books that I will be searching for.
