My interest is waining. How many accounts am I going to have to set up? If I was smart I would have called them all the same thing. Passwords and usernames, account names... it's all too much.
I found Library Thing kind of useful. It took a long time to put in enough information (20) to get something decent out of it. All it could suggest for me to read was other books by the authors in my list. Yea, I could read all of the books in the Discworld series, or I could not. That and an interest in grim Central American history and fiction in general, doesn't mean I want to read vampire books. I thought the unsuggester more helpful. Here's something interesting though, if you put "the bible" into the suggester or the unsuggester it comes up with the same list. That's cheating.
I found Rollyo to be utterly annoying. I made a reference list, then decided to alter it. But I created a new roll, (didn't think about editing the existing one.) Then i couldn't delete the old one... or make a short cut, or find my roll from the homepage. I think my lack of enthusiasm this week, cut short my patience. I good idea, just really irritating to use.
This is definitely taking more than 15 minutes a day. But hey... roll on next week.

Could you post a link to your librarything account so I can give you credit? It should look like www.librarything.com\catalog\your username.
Also, I'm still missing thing number 9 - can you have a look at the discovery exercise and check out some RSS seacrh tools?
