LibraryThing
Well, I have spent numerous hours today flicking through Delicious and LibraryThing and WOW! LibraryThing is fantastic! Upon reading the Assessment and the requirement to add a widget to my blog, I thought "what the heck is a widget?" So, I went into old faithful Google and "define: widget". The answer, among many was: "A widget is a device placed in a container of beer to manage the characteristics of the beer's head". I also didn't know what Zietgeist was (LibraryThing Tab), so back to Google and define: "Zeitgeist (Axel Cluney) is a fictional mutant character and superhero in the Marvel Comics Universe, a member of the second team of X-Force. Both definitions came from en.wikipedia.org/wiki. Well, I didn't really think we were there to discuss beer or fictional mutant characters, so I continued with LibraryThing. The Zeitgeist page is actually quite interesting. In Talk, I found a fun game. I have joined the "Playing games and solving puzzle" Group and made my first comment. Fun! Check it out! http://www.librarything.com/groups/playnggamesandsolvin. Reviews of my favourite books was also a bonus! I've learned a lot today! I thought this hilarious when I joined LibraryThing to ensure that you are not alien,

Isn't a widget a financial placeholder term to indicate a product ?
ReplyDeleteYou can also indicate who you loan items too - no more lost books !!!
You certainly have done a lot of research (widget and zeitgeist). Well done! I must be losing my curiosity in my old age.
ReplyDeleteWidget is also defined as a very useful gadget. Widgets was certainly a useful gadget to embed my LibraryThing into my Blog and doesn't it looks great on everyone's blog, and it does give an unique insight into my fellow workers' personalities - what they like to read.
