Twitter

Twitter is a site that allows people to instantly post a "tweet." It's similar to instant messaging in which people can quickly post their response to other people's post. Many celebrities these days are using twitter to communicate with their fans. Also, people can subscribe to a specific person or group and become a "follower" of their tweets and get constant updates of new postings.

I think this application is growing in popularity not only among the teens but other organizations such as new stations (and of course CPL) are using this to publicize their information to the public.

LibraryThing

I remember some customers actually bringing this up to me one time, but I never got the chance to actually look into it. After exploring the site, I see many practical applications for LibraryThing. It works great at home or at work. People can easily keep track of what they have read, look at reviews and see recommended books in one site!

I think I will start using this site...as a matter of fact I already signed up for an account and added a few of my novels that I have read in the past.

One more thing....I like how they show the cover of the novels. It really helps when I'm trying to locate a novel but don't remember the title.
