This blog is the first journal I have ever kept for fun. Beyond a place to note stuff I’ve been thinking about, it is a way of tracking ephemera from websites I liked to thoughts about my travels to current events. Below are some of the other online services that I’ve been using to fulfill that purpose recently.
Goodreads – I like the service and interface Goodreads provides. Generally, I think Amazon gets better reviews but I’m using Goodreads to track what I’ve read and what I want to read. I think this a is a cool visualization of the books I read in 2007.
Where I went in 2007 – Last year, I spent the night in 4 countries, 2 states, 1 federal district, 1 US territory, and 16 cities and towns. I like how easy Google Maps makes it to keep track.
Google Reader now lets me share articles that I find interesting. Google Reader is for managing RSS (really simple syndication) feeds, a way of tracking websites that update frequently. Over the last year, I’ve used it as much as email.
