MySpace and Facebook

#13 & #14

I set up a Facebook account some time ago but I haven't added to it since. I did intend to use it as a communication platform whilst travelling, but tend to text or simply email more. However I have found it very useful to keep up with what my interstate and overseas nieces and nephews are up too (and my own children on occassion!!) But I will make more of an effort to upload photos when away - although I tend to keep time spent on a computer to a minimum as we are usually only travelling for weeks, not months.

I have now also set up a MySpace account also (I'm becoming very confused with all these names and passwords......) I immediately received the 'Hey good looking' award for my profile photo - its a donkey!
Without spending a lot of time exploring, my first impression is that it has a more funky look to it than Facebook, but really wouldn't know why anyone would prefer one over the other.

I found this beautiful image of Lijiang on Flickr Commons.
I have also uploaded a very few of my own photos taken in Peru to my own Flickr account.

Library Thing

#11
I think this is similar to GoogleBooks, but I found it easier to use.
I didn't find too many of my books amongst the favourites, nor did I find any discussions.
There were also some recently published books I tried to add but they weren't found even though I searched using all the available sources. Is it linked to Amazon?

I thought this was fun and am sure I will be able to find more use for it than this - but time constraints at the moment only allowed a cursery examination. I will get back to it when my need arises.
