I quite like LibraryThing, a social networking site that allows you to list your own book collection with tags and reviews, if you want. Other users can visit your list and everyone can see what they have in common. From there, possibilities exist to interact with other participants. So there's the chance to network with people who share similar interests, even people who like to think. Woo hoo! Just viewing others' lists can provide useful possibilities to follow up. My entry at LibraryThing is under "Casper52"
Another wonderful site is the social bookmarking site del.icio.us This one allows people to store share their bookmark lists of favourite websites. It's a great way to unearth interesting websites you haven't seen before. I found lots to interest me, including a great blog on personal development and social issues at briankim.net/blog
Photos are not pertinent to these sites, so here's another one from my New Zealand trip last year. This is one of the two restored Rogers locomotives at the Plains Railway Museum. Both were restored from wrecks recovered from a river bed. It must have been quite a job to bring them back to life, and they look magnificent. This one is in the original colour scheme, which was later changed, being considered a little too flamboyant for the NZ railway authorities. Yes, gold wheels and multicoloured fittings are featured.
