Shelfari - Virtual Book Cases for All

I'm not sure how I came across this, but Shelfari is a great site that allows you to display your favourite books and discuss them with other members of the site. I've put my 'bookshelf' on the blog so that you can see some of my favourite titles. I've always been a fan of bookcases as they are much more interesting then mere wallpaper in a room (same goes for pictures on the walls!)! What also surprised me about Shelfari was that every book I searched for was available...even my own, "The Easy Quiz Master"!

Twitter Attacked

Personally, I'm not a Twitter user, but I'm saddened that hackers have seen fit to attack their servers resulting in the service being down for a couple of hours! I can understand coordinated attacks on government and military computer systems as part of a terrorist or protest campaign, but not on social networking sites!
