Here I am once again, after kicking my husband and son off WOW. I'll be getting a new beaut computer to enable me to do wonderful things.
I have had a look at Delicous, and wiki and several other things, and it sort of reminds me of cataloguing. Lots of cataloguing done in a very adhoc way.
While most of the things we have been looking at are fine. Will they provide us with tools that exceed what we are already using.
My thoughts are this is just probably just a new way.
Communication relies of people being familar with their tools.
I think this could be great for reader advise, but finding information still falls into the trap of knowing where to look. You have to waste an awful lot of time sitting in front of a computer to come up with this expertise.
So, I think what I would like to see is the our current catalogue containing more links to related books (more detail) and more links to other authors that write on the same subject and for my readers (old fashion as that my sound) what is in at the library that they are standing in.

Another day Another post
Well, it was not really much fun looking at the library thing, so I typed in sewing and low and behold lots of things I would like to do but there were no clouds on my horizon.
What I have found from this, is some people have really really untidy sewing room, and I have a better one than some. So my self esteem went up.
Tomorrow, I will get up early and follow my new dreams (new ufo's) and ruin yet another piece of fabric.
I think the next thing on my shopping list and a new set of shelves for my ufo's.
No back to books. The most interesting thing I found was how to make a hand bag out of a library book and this was created in a library. Puts a whole new look on TORing.
I know I was suppose to do something else, but I think I will join my Beloved and watch a murder or something on TV.

Well, I have speed through wiki and I can see the benefit with the ability to have lots of information.
It seems that it could be used for all the items that are currently used for email and felix. How will it be indexed. It seems that you can restrict (or a least identify the person doing the changes) so that will be fine.
One downfall, is that people that spend most of there time making comments on everything will definitefly fill any available space.
I would like to have an easily updated device for finding info all the things I need, but it is the indexing that counts.

Once again I have finally made it.
Another drama (forgot my password) and which of the half dozen email accounts I could have used for this blog and I have finally arrived.(My shoulder is sore and so is my temper)
A couple of glass of wine did the trick after dinner.
Passwords are a big problem. My problem is that I use several accounts for different reasons and as I started this at work and gave up in frustration as I once again lost the plot.
I can see RSS being useful provided how you a going to use it is thought out. I find that email is fine and I am really happy with using Felix, provided it is up to date. On line blogs and RSS could be useful provided you don't drown in the shear volume of stuff and I can see this as the major problem. Email is a bit like this. Sometimes are more organized product like felix at least is being directed by other.
In my personal life I can see a use for the RSS for getting to see new ideas. But we shall see.
