Virtual Motivators? How Motivating!

I started poking around at some of the sites listed and immediately fell in love with Trainco. Truth be told right now I'm on a little diet. Trying to lose that vacation weight. So, I started my account and posted my daily calorie counts and work out info. Yep, it was that easy! And you know what? I feel surprisingly motivated. I'll admit I was starting to feel the fade on the old calorie count but now I feel refreshed and recharged.

I did not go into catster or dogster because I've been there before, but at one time there was a site called enemyster - not sure if it's still up and running. Not sure how many people would sign up to be your enemy - and if you have that many enemies then you probably wouldn't want to tell the world - or would you?

PopUrls

I decided to check out PopUrls and immediately got sucked into the site - especially the video section. I will definitely be heading back to this site!

Appity-Apps

Library Apps are very much part of my life, as are general apps. What is my favorite library App? Ugh! That's a hard one! I guess it's easiest to say that I really don't have a favorite app. I experiment constantly with library apps. So if you don't mind I think I'll restructure your question, "What is your favorite thing to do with an app?" - then I guess I'd answer something like this, "My favorite thing to do with apps is to play with them. To see how how the Library can benefit from them, but also to see how I can use it in my own personal life."

I guess since my position at the Library is so heavily involved with web apps, by the end of the day my head is generally full.
