Thing 4-Yummy

I moved my bookmarks to Delicious some time ago and find it much better than using computer based bookmarks. I use 4 different computers on a regular basis, so having my bookmarks available on all was the key reason for making the change.
I actually have 3 bookmark lists: my main list that I use for everything, a list of good patient information sites that I have on my blog for patients to use to know where to start a search to get credible info on the web, and one of medical images that I have on my exam room computers. That one has been a big time saver-and face saver. I once mistyped instead of in an image search and got images of a scantily clad lady named Ling. (No, I'm not putting in the link, you are on your own.)
I had not considered Stumble Upon as a social bookmarking site. It sits on my FireFox tool bar waiting for me to need a break and enticing me to explore. There are some truly amazing websites that people have built, just for the fun of it. Stumble here.
Library Thing is quite interesting. I've not decided if it is worth it to enter all the books in my library, but maybe. I did enter one fairly specialized book, and there were only 3 others with this book listed also. 2 of them had libraries that overlapped mine quite a bit and one had an eclectic library and a couple of books I would like to read.
So far, this has been the shortest Thing for me to finish-but only because I had done it before.

Time spent: 2:30
