Bookjetty

http://www.bookjetty.com/people/enthublogger/books
Registered on Bookjetty and catalogued a few books, but didn't find it easy to follow. To make matters worse, either the site itself takes a while for it to come through each time you catalogue or the computer was slow. Embedding it on my blog didn't work - will give it a go again.

Had a nosy through LitLovers and I thought it was a handy site to know of, especially for folks interested in forming book clubs. LitBlog is well worth a read. Authors on the web is a cool site to check out authors' blogs and the latest news from the world of books.Might be good to recommend it to people in the book club or patrons who are techno savvy.

Genealogy

Setting up the family tree was great fun and though I started it as an exercise, my husband has run away with it. He was obsessed with it all weekend and has added heaps of info to it. The disappointing bit was that I set it up on My Heritage and found no way to embed it onto my blog - had to set up Geni just to complete the exercise.
I would definitely recommend this to friends and customers, who I believe will be just as delighted as me, as its quite simple to set up and navigate. Besides when you add people's email addresses, the site automatically shoots out emails to them and gives them a chance to add information and expand it themselves. Good fun!

Ready to play!

Yessssss......... it's good to be back! I am one of those who will not explore any techno stuff on my own- frankly, quite wary of it all. So thanks folks, for organising this once again - just the kind of nudge I need!
Have gone through the blogs on the library website and its a pity they have failed to initiate any customer comments for some reason. Maybe they need a nudge too!
I do see how blogging could be used in social circles especially if you are part of a group and this is applicable to the libraries too. We are at a stage when even libraries need to be marketed and I personally think blogging is a great marketing tool. Hail Blogging!!
