LibraryThing

To be completely honest, I do not read recreationally. A tool such as LibraryThing would not be of benefit to me. This looks like it would be very useful to someone who does read or who is looking for new books. It has the capability of cataloguing your favorite books and writing your own reviews on them. You can also search the reviews of other books read by other people on LibraryThing. I was surprised by the amount of books that LibraryThing has reviews on as well as recommended books for different types of readers. LibraryThing is not my forte and do not find myself using this site much for recreational use.

The internet offers a lot of different image generators to crop and make pictures more fun. I was playing around with different tools and really like flickr's "big huge labs". I used it to create this puzzle of my brother and I. Now that I have a Mac computer, I have image generators as software, but this is a neat way to do it online and upload it to a site, blog, etc. I can definitely see myself using image generators however using the software on my Mac is a little bit easier than the sites I played around with. Pretty cool for sure!
