Ohhhhh---I like this site!
It was a lot of fun browsing aroundon here.
I added some of the books I have read, and really liked all the recommendations I received.
I had read a good majority of those, but some I had not.
The TagMash was really interesting.
First I tried Fantasy/Romance and got tons of titles from Lois McMaster Bujoid to Diana Gabalon. Then I tried Star Trek/SciFi--and the site said it had never had that combination before! But after a short wait I was rewarded with over 500 titles. Cool!
I can definetly see myself using this site. Because I read a lot of books that are parts of Trilogys this will really help with keeping track of what I have read. Check out my account! http://www.librarything.com/home/sbtrekie

Beyond Google
I have used Bing and find it very similar to Google. It does have different things on the site.
I have used it to search for images and I have found different ones than on Google. So-Google?
Bing? Pretty much the same.
I went into the carrot site and kinda found it confusing.
I see how it is listing items and that's good, but I looked up "colleges" and came up with 6240000 sites.
I picked one that said colleges.com/scholarships and really didn't find any useful information.
I can't see me ever needing to use this type of site. Maybe if I were in school and doing reports.
But for my everyday playing around----TMI

Advanced Google
Got confused at first--had to talk to Elizabeth(I know she just loves me :) )
Once I got it figured out--I was surprised to find that the NJ site was less user friendly with NJ information than Google.
The PDF file on the Underground Railroad in NJ was right on top of the sites that showed up in Google. Don't know where it was on the NJ Gov. site.
The NJ town names--I did find a PDF in the NJ site--called NJ Place Names. It had a lot of information. Did like the one called Bad Town names in NJ on Google.

Read the article
Am signed up with Twitter--like it.
Some of the things that I follow are too much info.
I signed up for WVUNews because my son goes there and I thought it would be important
information, but they send like 20 tweets a day about stuff I didn't need to know, so I unfollowed them.
Have used Googlemaps alot

RSS
The video about RSS was very helpful.
I went to the site and I had a bit of trouble trying to find some feeds to subscribe to.
I signed up for Betty Crocker Recipe of the Day and LOL Cats--I haz a cheezbrger.
We'll see if I make anything new for dinner, but I do like the pictures of the cats!

Thing #3
I tried the websites of Galaxilei and My Heritage.
Galaxilei said it was for scifi and fantasy fans. I found it to be a little too much scifi for my liking.
I don't really like the real techie side of scifi, I am more of a fantasy type of reader. It was interesting-you can buy a star and name it after you! But it made my head spin after awhile.
My Heritage was a site to help with genealogy. I tried it with my Mother's side of the family, but because I don't have information I couldn't get very far. It looked really interesting.
