Deja vu

Another year, another blog. I wonder if I will continue with this one for longer than I did with my previous effort, created on the Oxford libraries' Web 2.0 day on 27 March 2008? The only Web 2.0 tools I have really embraced since that eye-opening day are Facebook, Library Thing and Delicious. Come to think of it, that's not bad going. And I even bought an ISBN scanner for use with Library Thing, and have added >300 of my books (see http://www.librarything.com/profile/alison_felstead). One of my cats enjoyed a short but intense period of tweeting on Twitter, but in the end he found typing with his paws just too difficult - and his online feline friends kept inviting him to join their gang in Mafia Wars!
I confess I got hopelessly confused with my Google accounts, created under different email addresses, and have discovered that it's not possible to merge two acocunts into one - hence the brand-new blog. In case you're wondering, I've deleted the old account - it would have been too confusing. I did discover one interesting thing whilst attempting to sort out my Google accounts, which I will record here for posterity. To delete a Google account, go to My Account and click "edit" to the right of My products. On the next screen you get the option to "Remove Web History Permanently". (Alternatively, try the Web 2.0 Suicide Machine to erase your online identity or identities at http://suicidemachine.org/ - not sure I should be blogging about this during 23 Things Oxford, but hey.) I think that's enough for one day.
