I've become thoroughly enTwined

Do any of you use Twine.com?  I found it yesterday.  It's social bookmarking on steroids; they call it "social interesting", I think.  It's like Delicious blended with a customizable Digg/Reddit format.  I was pretty confused about it until I found a video.  This particular video was made as a joke, but it really explains Twine better than anything else I'd read.  :)

Cleaning up my Delicious bookmarks was to be part of my spring cleaning this year anyhow, but now I think I'm going to do it while migrating everything into Twine.  I started on that yesterday, ...and I'm only about half way through the "a" tags.  *sigh*.  This will probably take a month or more.

So far I'm very impressed.  Twine is very feature-rich and versatile.  The biggest feature are the topic-based interest groups called, you'll never guess, ..."twines".  I joined a few: "Current Science", "Sustainable Living", "Local Food", "Knitting Purls", "Trawling the 'Net".  Whenever someone posts a book, video, bookmark or note to one of those twines/groups, it shows up in my "Interest Feed", thus making it like a custom version of Digg, albeit thankfully so far without all the juvenile pissing contests!  I joined a fabulously drool-worthy twine called "Hot Glass" which is all things glass related, though mostly blown glass, artists and exhibit links.  I needed a twine specifically for all my bookmarks for the at-home glass studio, beads and lampwork, and a few searches turned up nothing, so I started my own twine called "Lampwork Addicted".  It was super easy to start, and as soon as I get a little more content added, I'll start promoting it and hopefully get some more members adding relevant content.

Anyhow, I'm loving it!  I don't know if invites are still required, but if anyone wants to try it, I'd be happy to send one.

And speaking of spring cleaning, Craig moved his desk out of his office and into mine today, which is closer to the livingroom.  So now he can sit and play work on his computer and still be relatively close to me when I'm in knitting and/or watching tv.  This means his office is ready to be transformed into our craft room/second guest room.  Part of making space for his desk in my office was moving my craft armoire, which I had to partially empty to move.  It's good to get a reminder of everything I've hoarded in there, and I need to put it all back away now.  Seeing all of that stuff has renewed my determination to practice "use what you have" crafting though!  'Cause I have stuff!  HOOOOOO BOY, do I have stuff!
