Thomas Jefferson's Gift

An interesting article on Thomas Jefferson's Library is at Scholars and Rouges.

Library Images that are Interesting or Unusual

Things have been very busy and I haven't gotten around to finishing the 23 things, but I thought I'd use this blog to post some interesting library related photos I've found.

Week 6 Tagging and Social Bookmarking

I tried this back 2008, but haven't really used it much. I started it to drive some traffic to some of my websites. I've gotten a few hits, but haven't really gotten social enough for it to pay off I guess. I have accounts at Delicious (rlindsey58), Digg (rlindsey58), Technorati (RobertMLindsey), and StumbleUpon (rlindsey58). I don't really know of anyone using these tools, but a lot of people must. It probably helps if you know someone already using it. I guess you could say I have most of my bookmarked sites in my RSS feed.

Week 5 (a lot late) 23 Things RSS Feeds

I've used RSS for a while. I use Bloglines.

Okay, NOW Facebook is paying off

Well, just this weekend, I've found two old Army buddies and a college roommate on Facebook. (or "Spacebook" and "MyFace" as I like to call them). That is cool. Still several people AWOL. I've put as much info as I can for them to find me. However, since I really didn't like most anyone I went to high school with, I haven't put my high school. One has found me anyway, through my sister.

Week 4, Photos

I've been doing photo stuff online for a long time. I've had a Webshots account since August 1999. (Is that really more than a decade ago?) My current capacity is: Photos 13,500, and Videos 1,350.


I've got a Flickr account, but it just stores photos for one of my blogs. And since they only allow 200 photos, I rarely do anything with it. Flickr is definitely the one to use if you want to be more social. I had a photobucket account I think, but the same thing as Flickr, they only let me have a few photos without charging. Of course, now Webshots has these annoying ads with sound that turn on every page you go to. So I guess that is the price to pay.

Any photos you upload to Blogger go to a Picasa album, but they don't tell you that. They are locked by default, but you can open them up to share.
