As you can probably can tell, I liked this week's training on Yummy (Delicious) and Book Heaven (LibraryThing).
The main reason that I like them both, was that I did start cataloguing my personal library but I got mainly held up due to not knowing which format to use to make it easy for me to catalogue and use. For Delicious, it was that I move between a lot of computers and locations at work and with each new computer I have to find all my links and also update them. Both are easy to use and make it simple to navigate.
That's not to say that I liked everything for both of them and I will not be using everything that is available.
For one thing, apart from my apart from this training course, I will not be linking LibraryThing to a blog. Also the instruction at the beginning was a little bit confusing for putting a widget on the blog for LibraryThing but it is very simple once I worked it out. That may have been just me in that case.
For Delicious, it was mainly that I had to create a yahoo account for email to set it up. I am not a bit fan of having a yahoo account again as there was a reason why I stopped having one when I was in my early 20s. So if anyone knows how to create a Delicious account with a non-yahoo account please tell me.
But apart of these small issues I really liked them both and plan to continue to use them in the future. I may even get a paid account for LibraryThing.
I had a yahoo account I set up and didn't use - glad to have a reason for it's existence.

ReplyDeleteYes both very handy if you share a computer or want stuff at home as well as at work.
