Thing 14: Technorati

So I looked over Technorati and found that people blog about EVERYTHING! You can find out which tags were the most used in the past month; you'll appreciate how to use tags to make your blog more visible in the blogosphere; you can search through a vast number of blogs regarding a specific topic; as well as advice to make your blog a the best it can be!


Very interesting site. To be honest, now that I know about it, I'll be going back to check it out often:)

Thing 13: Del.icio.us

Well, the Del.icio.us tutorial, the Us.ef.ul: A Beginner's Guide to Del.icio.us, AND
Several Habits of Wildly Successful Del.icio.us Users were not available!! (Pages no longer exist). Could it be the number? This IS thing 13!!!! Oh, well...life goes on (thankfully!).

My comment is: I can't believe all of this technology stuff actually exists! It does make life on the Information Highway just a tad bit easier!

Thing 12: Rollyo

This is great! I can see why anyone would want to create their own. Instead of searching a few search engines (one at a time), you can set it up so that you search them all at the same time. Whether for work or for personal use, it's a wonderful idea and very easy to set up. I created a rollyo about crafts. I may go back and edit some sites...

Thing 11: Library Thing

Signed up on Library Thing which I've seen before and think it's great to keep track of what you've read or what you want to read. (It's so true: Sooo many books! Sooo little time!)

Thing 10: Online Image Generator

Had fun with this one! Looked at quite a few image generators and this one caught my eye. Why? Because you can customize the pictures and even send it as an e-card. I wrote what I'm feeling now that it's getting close to summer and I can't wait to go on vacation. Wish I were there NOW:)
It's on letterjames.com. Enjoy!

Thing 9: Library related Blogs/News Feeds

Checked out Merlin. Very interesting. The calendar is very useful: it contains all shared statewide training events. Tried to sign on to the RSS but kept getting a window with this message: "Internet Explorer Cannot Display This Feed." Will try again in a day or two. Hope to have better luck then!

Thing 8: RSS & Bloglines

Just looked over some RSS feeds and signed up for some bloglines. Very interesting! I like the fact that you can get all the latest in one place--like one stop shopping! It's quick and easy and I can see why online businesses would offer it. It's an easy way to get the word out on what's new to your customers. And as a customer, it's an easy way to see what's new & interesting without having to go to each individual business that's of interest.
