The Sentient Search Engine

I’m actually an old hand at LibraryThing, so when I saw this was a Learn & Play exercize this week, I was relieved (its been busy). My profile and library have been around since Dec 15, 2006.

LibraryThing, in addition to being a lot of fun (for geeks like me), is also an invalable tool! In my opinion, anyone who is involved with reader’s advisory should have an account and needs to know how to get to their colleagues libraries as well. This is a great way to find good book for customer in unfamiliar genres. For ecample, folks at my branch could use mine for Science Fiction and Fantasy help (provided that I actually kept up with it).

I would actually like to do more with LibraryThing, as I have only a fraction of the books I own or have read included in the catalog. Back around January, I actually bought a CueCat to speed up the process of adding books to my library. Here’s hoping I find the time to use this time-saving device!

Both Actually!

To the right you see the results of my Image Generator play for Learn & Play. This was created with the FD Toys “Framer”. This tool could not be easier, especially if your’re using your flickr account.

FD actually has a number of fun little tools, some that I thought were cooler. However, for various reasons, I chose to the time effective approach and made myself a little faux-stamp.

I also found the stuff on the Generator Blog to be cool. Some of it also looks potentially useful like the Website Template maker!
