Rollyo

Well i have finally moved on to Rollyo and i must say that i was confused to begin with, i understood the whole concept about what Rollyo did but when asked to create my own one i have to say i went blank...i love those moments where when asked for input or an idea nothing comes into your head and you sit there for ages thinking about the problem knowing that you will never think of a solution any time soon..so yeah that was my first problem...what am i suppose to make my Roll about?? I searched around and look for ideas of other peoples rolls and eventually came up with a book review and search roll (how original) seeing i work in a library...i was looking at putting on shopping but i like to shop in an acutal shopping centre and if online i only use ebay so it wasnt going to be to inspirational if i went down that road.

So i finally decided on my book review and search roll now all i had to do was to add my sites that i think would useful when searching for reviews and books, well i found a few such as Oprah's BookClub and i added Fiction Connection also, their were a number of others that i found useful that i added also.. so my rollyo search was created now i had to test it out and it actually worked, it was good because it actually shows you which sites were searched and all results were actually relevant to what i was searching for...(something that after years of searching pointless website i am grateful for). I also added a Rollyo widget onto my side bar which allows you to search my Rollyo on Book Reviews & Searches, i hope it works for you.

Overall i can see the benefits of using Rollyo especially within the library as you can specify which sites you wish to come up, if we had subject specific searches as we do with all of our school projects that we have it would be beneficial for us to seach that roll and not waste our time on other search engines that may bring up the results we want but we would of wasted a lot of time searching for it...

Anyway i'm off and will have a play around with LibraryThing and Rollyo as i need it i guess..might even have a conversation or two on LibraryThing about my favorite authors..
