23 Things: Wikis & Library Lingo

[Web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content]

Quick & easy way to interact without worrying too much about format (having said that, when I wanted to format, had to edit a few times because 'Save & Close' altered the font size & spacing of a section).

23 Things: LibraryThing

[Web application for storing and sharing personal library catalogues and book lists]

LibraryThing is fun & easy to use & provides book suggestions.

23 Things: Delicious

[On Delicious, tags are used to organise and remember your bookmarks. You can also use del.icio.us to see the interesting links that your friends and other people bookmark, and share links with them. You can also browse and search Delicious to discover useful bookmarks]

With folders I tended to keep only a few bookmarks. With Delicious will keep many more.

23 Things: RSS Feeds & Google Reader

[The RSS reader regulary checks the user's subscribed feeds e.g. blog entries, news headlines, for updates]

RSS Feeds are useful in a library environment.
