ListerLister is a social site that lets you create a list that you and others can add to, edit, tag, and rate.  Lists appear to be mostly “Top 5, 10, 20,… something”.

You could, for example, create a list of the top 10 favorite books or websites on a particular topic.  I don’t know how far something like this can go, but it is something I haven’t seen elsewhere.  I didn’t find any lists about books, so here’s your chance!

I have yet to get very involved in taking digital photos and participating in the likes of Flicker, although I do have an account. I would look to getting more involved in terms of integrating photos with my blogging and websites, both at school and personal. I’m involved in our school website and we do get a lot of pictures taken. One of the issues with that is the editing of photos and downsizing them for posting on the website. The editing requirements aren’t huge, and I’ve used iPhoto in the past. Adobe Lightroom looks to provide some capabilities between iPhoto and Picasa and more professional programs such as Adobe Photoshop. As I become more involved in taking photos, I may look to try Lightroom.

One thing that I find is that it’s hard to know what program is right for you until you try them. I don’t always seem to know what else I can do, or what I could do better, until I discover it through trying out the various programs. What I often say about technology, and will probably say repeatedly here, is that you’ve got to try things. Most of my knowledge and experience comes simply from my exposure, practice, and subsequent experience with technology.

Lightroom looks like great (free) photo editing software. I hope to check it out soon and be able to give some more specifics. Check out the post below for screen shots, and check out the Lifehacker blog while you’re there.
