Thing 8

I took a look at MySpace. I couldn't find anyone I know. I was more interested in looking at some of the authors, libraries, and musical groups that have pages. I was interested to discover all the TV shows on MySpace Video, including the Kitchen Nightmares episode about Cafe 36. I'll have to watch that at home this weekend.

I don't like that you can't see anything in Facebook without creating an account. I refused to do so.

On the other hand, I already have a LinkedIn account. A college friend had invited me, so I joined awhile back. I am really addicted to trying to add to my network. I now have over 70 connections. I confess that I haven't really used it for networking yet, but hope to do so someday.

Thing 7

I like Ta Da for planning for parties, holidays, etc. I also have an ongoing list of home repair tasks, that never seems to get shorter!

Diane J suggested using this for books you want to read, and I love that idea. Right now, I just have little scraps of paper, which does not work well.

I tried Thingamalist, but was not that enthused by it. If you could import recipes from FoodNetwork.com, then I might be more interested.

Thing 6

I love podcasts! I have subscribed to a couple in iTunes, including one called Manager Tools. (www.manager-tools.com). It's two guys, Mike and Mark, talking about management issues, and they are funny and helpful.
