LibraryThing

This is a nice little tool for keeping up with your personal library. It was easy to use, though I found it easier on some of the books to actually go to amazon, search for the book, and c&p the isbn from there. Of course, if I had been doing this from home, I wouldn't have needed to do that, since I would have had the books, and therefore the isbn's, on hand.

Last Daughter of Krypton

I was really excited when I saw the comic strip tool, but I'm disappointed that it doesn't just turn it into an image you can save to your computer. I could have done this better just on the printshop I have at home. And I think I will have to do that, now:)

MySpace

I already had a Facebook, so this was no problem. The thing I don't like about MySpace is that you have people with no training in web design designing web pages--and most of the pages make me cringe (I don't know much about web design specifically, but I am trained in technical writing and editing, so I at least understand the concepts of headings and white space). Anyway, I'll probably use MySpace a bit, just because there are old friends of mine on MySpace who aren't on Facebook. But overall, I prefer Facebook's template and interface.

Gmail

I already had a gmail account, so I just used my existing address.

Bloggin', yo

My pages looked a bit different than the samples on the intranet page, but I didn't have any trouble figuring it out. The interface, though, isn't as clear and simple as it could be, and I might have had some trouble if I didn't already have experience with message boards, etc. (This is my first blog, though, so I don't really have anything to compare Blogger to. Perhaps it is more user-friendly than other blog sites)
