Thing 13: Tagging, folksomonies & social bookmarking in Del.icio.us

It's an interesting option. But for people like me this sort of thing is not all that necessary. I know how to find these things anyway. I guess it's good to have one more way to do it.

Rollyo

I've covered this one already. Google rules. Rollyo = feeble competitor.

Library thing

Library thing is cool, especially for people like me who can't even guess how many books they have. I donated something like 6 30 gallon trash bags full of books when I moved because there wasn't going to be room for them in my new house. So I'd love to get all that in there. But it would take too long, so I probably won't. What was interesting was to see how many people had the same books I did. My rarest book still had other people listed as having it.

Thing 10

Isn't thing 10 basically the same as thing 6? I mean, part of thing 6 is thing 10, so what is thing 10 doing here?

RSS part deux

The bloglines search has the classic problems. It won't search for what you want, only what you type in. I searched for TOE theory and got a bunch of crap about feet. And it seems like an awful lot of people have way to much time on their hands out there.

RSS & newsfeeds

The thing is that when I want information I just go out and find it. I'm not the type who wants information pushed at me. When I want to know I'll find out. So RSS isn't my thing. Most of the time I couldn't care less what's going on around me, and I certainly don't want the mass media's picture of life on earth. My life is depressing enough already thank you.
