LibraryThing is a good concept with a lot of potential. Kingston is even trialling the LibraryThing for Libraries widgets in our online catalogue! First in Australia I believe.
And here is a link to my catalog

#9 Finding Feeds
The amount of blogs out there is astronomical, not to mention the amount of subjects covered.
Everything from Melbourne food blogs to trampoline purchasing blogs.

#8 Make life "really simple" with RSS & a newsreader
RSS is great, especially when you have a huge list of web resources you check on a regular basis. However, there are some sites that I will still go to to "read" the info instead of small snippets. I find you learn more info by going to the sites.
That said, Bloglines is a great online RSS aggregator that I'm sure to use in the future.

# 7 Blog about technology - last.fm
LibraryThing might be the social reading revolution, but last.fm is the social music revolution.
Unlike LibraryThing where you need to manually add books to your library, Last.fm hooks directly into your PC's music player (eg. iTunes), so whenever you play a song your profile gets updated and stats are recorded.
Here is my profile: http://www.last.fm/user/Bradii/
You can also add widgets to your blog to share your recently played tracks etc with everyone. Look to the right and you will see mine. Last.fm makes it really easy to share new music with your friends (especially helpful if they are overseas).

Last.fm is the flagship product from the team that designed the Audioscrobbler music engine. More than ten million times a day, Last.fm users "scrobble" their tracks to our servers, helping to collectively build the world's largest social music platform.
Last.fm taps the wisdom of the crowds, leveraging each user's musical profile to make personalised recommendations, connect users who share similar tastes, provide custom radio streams, and much more.
# 6 More Flickr Fun
One of the things about the Internet is that half the time you find things that just don't make sense. http://icanhascheezburger.com is one those things... I don't try to understand it.Above is a mashup I made using the lolcats generator.

#5 flickr
I've been using flickr for some time now... I go to a lot of concerts and always take my camera.
A trip through flickr shows you how easy it can be to take really great shots - you just need some luck.
