Great websites: Audioboo

Audioboo reminds me quite a lot about a page I found a few years ago, but I have lost the link to. That page was filled with the sounds of the world, meaning it had a big map and you could click on different parts of the world and hear the sounds from this place. Audioboo also have some of that but also all kinds of other sound things. For instance I just listened to a man who had linked his clip to a road and where he talks about the fact that he does not want to drive on this road but wants to stay home in bed.

For me, this page is an amazing treasure chest. It mixes my love for sound and music with my love for people (most of the time). As a cultural historian I love how people go about with their little lives and how their customs and identity is shaped by and help shaping culture. It's like having the whole world in your computer. I love it so far and is looking forward to exploring it more and hopefully upload some of my own stuff one day.

Great websites: LibraryThing.com - How to organize your books?

http://www.librarything.com

A friend of mine gave me this link after my blog about all my books earlier this week. It turns out to be an amazing site where you can add all your books and almost everything about them. There are wide opportunities to get to know other people that like the same books as you or keep in touch with old literature loving friends :)
You can add 200 books for free and you can choose yourself the price for an upgrade, though there is a fixed minimum price. More info here: http://www.librarything.com/upgrade.php
The whole site also seams very serious for some reason, I think it's the layout. I wish they could have made it a bit more cozy, but then again a neutral look will appeal to more people of all ages and backgrounds. Anyways.. Amazing site, I will add all my books there when I get them into their shelves!
Good night, I think it's supposed to be sun in Norway for the first time in a month or so tomorrow :)
