Emily Explains Flickr

Flickr is awesome! It is so unbelievably addicting, I could waste hours on this website. First I was distracted by the satellite view of the earth and spent half an hour there and then I found the main part of the website. There are so many photos, you could look all day long and still be amused. Good ol' Flickr, it will probably become a favorite website now.This picture makes me laugh every time!! Thank you to Elizabeth for taking the picture and thank you to Melanie for letting me post it and finally thank you to Paul for wearing a bonnet. In public.
I would add an explanation for this picture, but it makes perfect sense to me.

Emily Explains LibraryThing

I'm going to break from the crowd here - LibraryThing is cool, but I don't find it particularly amazing. It's a fun way to keep track of the books I have read and also to see what books my friends like, but I don't see myself becoming addicted to it. Several days passed between the creation of my account and this post and I honestly forgot I even had a LibraryThing account. That is how much it means to me. I personally would be just as well off sticking to an Excel sheet or Word document listing all the books I have read/want to read. LibraryThing does have the advantage of being on any computer I encounter during my day but with the flash drive I will soon be getting I can easily remedy that problem. All the computers I ever use have Word loaded on them so I will probably just stick with a trusty ol' Word file. But who knows, it's possible after this rambling post I will become hopelessly addicted to LibraryThing. Maybe I'm just in a contrary mood right now.

Emily Explains Tagging and Technorati

Tagging and Technorati are not at all useful in my opinion. I suppose it's probably because I don't visit so many websites that I need another one to keep track of them for me nor do I need to search through someone else's blog. I can't even keep track of my own blog, heaven forbid I could keep track of someone else's! Sooo...that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Emily Explains Myspace

Not much too explain really. It's space that is mine. It's sort of fun, but overall I don't think I will keep it once 2.0 is over. It was really easy to set up and figure out how to use. However, all of my "friends" are people I see everyday so I don't really have anything to say to them on Myspace that I wouldn't just rather say in person. Adding photos and being able to see other peoples' photos is semi-amusing though. So, on the whole I don't see the big craze over Myspace, but to each his own.
