Nerdy timewasters I discovered today

[alias_sqbr]

1)Google reader's "Recommendations" feed. I started using Google reader solely based on seeing how much fun Cam was having with his.

2)An Archive of Our Own has external bookmarks! With tags!

Some comments on the latter (which I may send in once I'm sure I have nothing more to say):

1) I forgot to add a Category and when it brought the page back up with an error it had lost half the info I had typed in :(
2) Why no vids/fanart etc categories for bookmarks AO3? I understand they're not part of the actual archive (yet) for practical reasons but I see no reason they can't be for bookmarks, and if they're not marked they'll get lost amongst all the fanfic.
3) There's no way to search all recced works for particular fandoms etc? Or (from the other direction) sort filtered works by number of recs?

It feels like the bulk of my online interactions are happening on Google Reader. Less so this past week, of course, but in general.

Yeah I can see the abyss of another timesuck yawning in front of me :)

Those are awesome suggestions that you should totally send in!

I made sure to send them in that day once I was sure I didn't have anything else to add.
