Rollyo appears to be a useful organizational tool. As with many of these tools, one needs to find the time to initially enter the data, and then keep updated for it to be a timely resource.

#14 LibraryThing
LibraryThing is the best thing! I felt that way about many of the things we've explored, and then I try a new one, and believe it is the best.
This site is definitely user-friendly. Without too much trial and error, I was able to search a title, and use the option to add a cover from Amazon. It is a useful site to explore by tags for interesting titles.

FD toys really IS fun. I created a wonderful poster. One can feel almost artistic!
Thing #12 Finding feeds
It was interesting, and not surprising, that each of the three listed search tools in this exercise generated some of the same results but also widely different results. The Bloglines' Search tool was the easiest to use, in terms of saving the RSS feed.
One great result of this exercise has been learning what the RSS feed icon is and how these sources are useful.

Thing #11 RSS feeds
It is great to pull together up-to-date information in a single place. This is also a good organizational tool. Only problem: it doesn't create additional hours in a day so that there is ever enough time to read it all!

NetLibrary again
After numerous attempts, requiring a new account and computer settings changes, I transferred an audiobook from a flash drive to my computer, acquired a license and listened to it on media player. A lengthy process, very time consuming, but I know it will be less laborious and frustrating the next time I do it.
Now it is time to acknowledge the incredible assistance of a coworker with this task: amazing knowledge, patience and teaching skills!
