The learning of another language

Oh and another thing ... you will need to learn a new language! From now on "delicious" does not mean tasty it is a social bookmarking site that lets you save bookmarks to a central location and the "bookmarks" aren't made from cardboard or paper or fabric or leather, etc, they are electronic and can be classified with tags. You can find these tags in "clouds" - not the clouds in the sky but the clouds on your computer screen! You will need to add a LibraryThing widget to your blog and it is not the same as the widget attached to the bottom of a can of beer that gives beer a head when it is poured! And I thought "Widget" was a southern California beach bunny who pined for the Big Kahuna and had a boyfriend called "Moondoggie"! - Oh, that's right she was "Gidget"! And it's not a "LibraryThing" because you cannot recall it's name. You can use it to create an online catalogue of your personal book collection.

Actress Sally Field starring as Gidget (not "Widget") - an American sitcom about a surfing, boy-crazy teenager.

My Delicious account has bookmarked and tagged cute photos and pictures of the best and smallest breed of dog in the world - the mighty chihuahua. I have owned chihuahuas for many years (Brenna and Misha are sadly deceased and I still have Shari. Unfortunately Shari is old now and crippled by arthritis). These bookmarks are useful (perhaps) to anyone else who really likes chihuahuas!

Delicious = social bookmarking = good for libraries. Good because it's social, inclusive and accessible.

... And now to LibraryThing! Really, really liking it! Most definitely a good option for Libraries. It's great that our Libraries are already using it and ALL libraries should have it! It is without a doubt a very useful and appropriate tool for libraries everywhere. Think book reviews, book clubs, "who else writes like?", recommended reading, popular titles, author profiles and so on. My LibraryThing widget includes a few books I have read and a few books that are great read alouds for story time sessions.
