Bloglines

I'm not impressed with Twitter. I can't get used to checking my cell phone often enough to make it worth carrying; having it bleeping at me all the time to find out my sister is eating a ham sandwich would make me nuts. (Most weeks my cell phone spends two days sitting alone on my desk charging (yes, I know that only takes a couple of hours) because I forget to take it to work.) But I like RSS feed. I surf a lot of sites looking for new posts since last I looked. An RSS feed page would be useful to me. But not on my phone.

myspace

Here's my new MySpace page: http://home.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user&MyToken=aafff277-b9a5-4711-9132-bc4e509c7ea9#

Tom is my first new friend, although I think he's an easy friend to get... I think he's the welcome wagon.

In spite of this being a blog for work, I can't suppress myself, WAS THAT NOT AN AWESOME SPEECH LAST NIGHT BY OUR EXCELLENT NEW PRESIDENT??

Since when did supporting OUR President become partisan?

Blogs

Is it a blog if there are no comments? Comments are rarely posted to the APL blog. The reference librarians chatted about this when we created the blog. Some of us were in favor of encouraging lively commenting, others wanted the blog to be neutral; to be informational. The informationists won and readers almost never post comments.

I vote for lively discussion.
