I am not currently a member of any online communities other than my recently updated Facebook profile from Thing #18 and the possible membership with TeacherPop for which I'm currently waiting an approval. I'm more of an email and texting person but I'm willing to expand my networking abilities.
Of the social networks listed for Thing #19 the one that most appealed to me was Shelfari. This online community for book lovers seems exciting. My husband and I love to read. Spending hours wandering through book stores is one of our favorite hobbies. Taking this pass time to the couch with laptops would make for a nice evening of perusing books!
I like that with Shelfari you are able to see what books friends are currently reading, have read, and want to read. The tour on the homepage shows the community to be well organized and easy to navigate. There are many options for searching books such as most popular over all and favorites among genres. Best of all like so many of these neat Things we have discovered - its all free! I'm looking forward to setting up my own account once I have a break from school work. When I get it going I just may add my virtual bookshelf to my blog. :)
