Rollyo, Library Thing and Image Genertors

Rollyo

I think Rollyo is a useful search tool. It allows the user to limit their searches to a preset group on websites. It's great if you are conducting a search specific on only one topic or if you have a set of reliable websites that you prefer for your information. I made a Rollyo based on art museums in and around the NJ, NYC area. This way I can search to see the latest exhibitions, what artisits are in the collections, etc.


Library Thing
I enjoyed Library Thing, especially the idea of having an online catalog of books I've read to be able to share with my friends and vice versa. The social library aspect of it is what is most intriguing. As far as getting reviews and recommendations, Library Thing is a good place to start. However, I was already reading reviews and recommendations like these through Barnes and Noble and Amazon. I've started to upload my books online and look at some of the recommendations. Sites like this make me wish I had more free time to read.

Image Generators

I had played around with these before while working with flikr. I have some of the images posted to my account there. These are great and a lot of fun, but must admit to being a photoshop snob so I prefer to edit and alter my photos from there.
