I guess real bloggers never get tired of creating, reading their musings and posting...
it keeps them going even if no one ever comments on their content (like our 23 things postings).
Read my post on the FC Library 23 things main page as I will pick it up here (got my eyes on the 100 bucks...even only I can outwit that Jack dog/person).
The world of blogging is amazing. There is crap enough for everyone.
That said, there is some helpful content written by working professionals; just so much out there (in addition to print) that one could read and comment on so that 8 hours a day of work becomes much less.
It is hard for me to take the time to even write this, let alone read dozens of postings just on library-related blogs. Work is left undone while we read and blog.
If I believed that certain library blogs were worth visiting even for 5 minutes a day, I would need to schedule time for it or I would forget about it.
I guess I still think that a journal or magazine article has more value to browse or read than a blog that did not take as much thought to create or have any editorial review on it.
Therefore I remain,
Deluged by the flood (of information),

Well, Tomi, it certainly is overwhelming. The last time I looked at the blogs on my bloglines, I had over 100 posts to read on one of them! Luckily I can just pick and choose, save some, maybe even not look at all of them. On the other hand the blogs seem to have the very latest of the latest info. Even before it's in print!
It's hard to keep up, but on the other hand, it's great to be in a profession where things are constantly changing. Keeps life interesting!
i could not find a button to create a new thread/blog on this page!!!!
so, i am using the comment link.
goodreads, shelfari (i like the graphics of a library shelf...it looks less libary-like and more inviting that librarything.
reader 2 has some diehard librarians in the mix it seems as they have "faceted classification" for those who grudge giving up authority control.
librarything took too long to load its front page compared to the others.
strange experience for me to create 3 tags for 3 books (step 12) and then over a month later find that several hundred librarything people have added tags to these.
is this really the way the social networking thing works? people actually visited my little space on librarything to create tags OR did librarything actually aggregate tags for the books themselves and all users have this content generated for "their" pages?
if the former, it indeed was like an invasion. i guess lonely people like it because it means someone knows they are alive.
