Hi

The singing sensation 'Susan Boyle' seems to the big news here. Great expectations for her in the next round! She'll never top that first viewing. I hope she's got a good manager!

Delicious

Hi

Delicious doesn't look that tasty at 6.45pm on a Friday afternoon! Still I'm not immune to its charms and can see the benefit of sharing bookmarks amongst interested parties.

Web 2.0 Awards..

Just checked out some of the listed sites - the travel ones are quite good - Farecast and Gusto... Handy little tools - e.g. Farecast offers you a 'multi-city' option - for all you dreamy travellers out there with some spare cash (i.e. if you still have some!)

Google-eyed!

This much exposure to books can't be good! I get enough at work (not the virtual kind!)- and at least they're largely the hard-copy variety!

However, I can see the benefits of including our collections in Google Book search - it could really act as a spotlight on our resources. I'm sure there are many that are in the public domain and could be scanned in full-text.

LibraryThing

Just checked out LibraryThing - very useful tool. Added some books I read some time ago or hope to read in the near future. Can't dally too long or will never catch up!
