LibraryThing

I like this idea! I now have a way of creating my own catalogue, an idea that has always appealed to me!

Interestingly, one of my recently read titles was not located on Amazon, I added the National Library of Australia as a search location, but with no success as the search timed out twice. So I added the book manually, just like cataloguing at work minus the tag information!

Technorati

I know I've said it before but it still amazes me that people have time to create blogs on such a variety of topics, this was particularly obvious when I looked at "Blogger Central" and selected the "popular" page on Technorati.

When I searched for "bookmobile" as a keyword search 207 results were located. When I used the same search term but selected the tagged advanced search option I retrieved 37 results, many of which were the same results as found during the keyword search. I'm presuming this is because the blogs have included the tag "bookmobile". I was particularly intrigued by The Camel Bookmobile of Kenya, books delivered by camel!

I also have not had much luck when searching Technorati for "nswpln2008". By doing a keyword search only one result appeared, it's a person's blog who is also completing this course! There was no retrieval of Flikr images as predicted. Did I do something incorrectly?
