My favorite part of LibraryThing is the recommend function.
I found it quite accurate at suggesting books I may be interested in.

Online Productivity Tools
I could definitely see myself using these online tools more often rather than using traditional methods. The biggest advantage would probably be that the software is completely free. The software is also accessible through any computer connected to the Internet and is syncable with allot of pre-existing programs.

Flikr & YouTube
I'd say that both these sites offer media content that is useful for educational and entertainment purposes. Even though you may not find all search hits being of quality to you as an individual, the vast amount of files on either site bring allot of choice.
RSS
I was successful at setting up my RSS feed.
Yes, it made information gathering a bit easier. Instead of trying to track down blogs I had read before that I still wanted to follow, I received real time updates from my feed.

Google Universe
Google Maps allows you to view maps of almost any street in the world with great detail.
What I liked about this application is the ability to plan trips and recieve directions as a function.
One aspect I didn't like about this application was that the street view function wasn't completely accurate. I found that the address it listed for my house wasn't the right one.

Though there are allot of time wasting applications on facebook, I ultimately find it quite useful.
As a musician I find that creating events for shows is a very good promotion tool. I wouldn't hear about half the events I'd like attend without this.

Wikipedia
I found it difficult to find any errors in the articles i browsed. Most of them were grammatical and not having to do with the spelling. I found that there were fewer mistakes on the more popular articles rather than the more obscure ones. This is probably due to the fact popular articles are read and reviewed more often.
