I just read on Library Clips that Technorati has released Technorati Mini. This mini search results window floats above your other windows and refreshes every 60 seconds. This means you can search on some topic you're interested … yourself or your blog for instance … and you can see what new results [...]

Here's mine.

I just discovered another bookmarking site. It's called BlinkList Chris Deweese at Clam Chowder explains BlinkList as:
takes del.icio.us one step further and adds network groups. This lets you hook up with other people and form a social circle to share book marks.
I've visited the site and I must say it is awefully [...]

A blind study is being run by WebmasterBrain to see which search engine provides the most relevant results … I ended up picking MSN for my search, but apparently Google is in the lead. Read about the study & participate here.

I love the Internet! Every day there is something new out there. This weekend a new site popped up - Diggdot.us:
Combines stories from digg, slashdot, and del.icio.us/popular into one place. Great for those of us that constantly rotates between the three sites to keep up with the tech world.
Handy!

Looking to add a calendar of events to your site? Not sure you want to tackle the coding necessary? You should take a look at this snazzy open-source calendar we're using on our Intranet. It's called ExtCalendar 2 (check out this demo) and it requires little programming knowledge to get it up and running right [...]

John over at blyberg.net has a great post that I read this morning.
RSS 2.0 in September 2002. It's almost 2006 and ILS vendors are just now starting to unveil some RSS feeds. We shouldn't be treating those announcements like watershed moments. They're tidbits of “too-little-too-late” packaged in shiny wrappers, served with a helping of “Who's [...]

I just read on Library Stuff about this great new blog & marketing idea. The blog is the Librarian Trading Cards blog. And Steven set up a Flickr pool for everyone to add their own cards. How do you make your own card? Visit this nifty tool.

When I started at Jenkins almost 5 years ago I sat in on one of our Internet CLE (continuing legal education) classes, Internet Basics. The instructor talked about how email is the reason most peope use the Internet … well today I found an updated report on the uses of the Internet and it looks [...]

The other day I did a search for my blog on Bloglines and I came up with 2 results. I assumed that they were both the same so I only clicked one and saw that there were 63 subscribers …. WOW … then yesterday morning when I looked at my subscription to my blog in [...]

Do you hate having to register to read news sources - leading to more junk mail - like the link I gave in my last post?
Well if you visit BugMeNot.com you can plug in the URL of the site you want to visit and it will provide you with a username and password … which [...]

Sometimes it seems that way. I love Google, and I love the services they're providing, but sometimes it seems like they're trying to take over everything.
Today I read an excerpt from “The Google Story” which details a project between Craig Venter (who's working on the human genome project) and Google. Do you see where this [...]

I see all of these blogs & wikis popping up for the Infotoday conferences (KM World, Internet Librarian, C2) … it makes me impatient for March when I'll be going to Computers in Libraries … this year I want to participate in all of the online collaboration that's going on!

I don't use del.icio.us … yet, but this tool kit is where I'm going to start learning more about it. Thanks blogdriverswaltz for including it in your presentation.

This week C|Net completed a series called Taking Back the Web. The series spanned five days and topics: entertainment, wikis, tagging, maps, and youth. Thanks ::schwagbag:: for pointing it out … now I'm off to read it.

Oh My Goodness! It can be done, it took me 2 weeks but I have subscribed & unsubscribed to hundreds of blogs/news sources and I'm not down to 161 feeds and ZERO new posts … of course that will change in a minute or so, but I just thought I'd share … back to work.

I have see so many uses for the Google Map service lately. Today I found the Weather Underground map and the Housing Maps which lists homes and rooms for rent and sale listed on craglist. There's also Frappr which lets you create a map for your group (like the blogging librarians map) and [...]

You've probably used some online service like Weather Underground to get your local weather, but have you see the new Weather Stations Google Map? Plug your zip code in and see data from your local weather stations. Use the radio buttons at the top to choose to view temperature/wind direction, dew [...]

I started using Bloglines at about the same time I started this blog so that I could keep up with what others in the field were writing about … but I'm starting to wonder if it's really the best option.
I have 160 feeds I'm tracking, it's hard enough to keep up with all of them [...]

I have only one word on my mind … WOW!
I think I've seen this name around, Riya, but I can't remember where … today I found more information out by reading my TechCrunch feed. Riya is a facial recognition search engine … wait stay here … don't run out to test it (like I [...]

At IL05 Steven Cohen commented on how everything is in Beta, well check out this new Beta product: GoogleGulp.

At Google our mission is to organize the world's information and make it useful and accessible to our users. But any piece of information's usefulness derives, to a depressing degree, from the cognitive ability of the user [...]

Librarians with Class pointed out a pretty nifty wiki called Library Instruction Wiki which is
a collaboratively developed resource for librarians involved with or interested in instruction … designed to help librarians learn from one another. Use the wiki to find handouts, tutorials, suggested reading, and more!
Under Library Instruction Resources you can find class websites, handouts [...]

Wow I have a lot of work to do. I just read part of the summary of the Collaboration, Social Software and E-Learning presentation at the KMWorld & Intranets conference that's going on right now … and they mention a site with the top 55 sites to submit your blog/rss feed to … but [...]

Some people aren't fans of RSS … or just don't get it … for people like that there are 2 services (that I know of) that may be of interest to you. One I learned about awhile ago, Rmail lets you put in the address of the RSS feed you want to get via [...]

I learned about this tool a while ago … but I forgot about it until today.
WhatTheFont allows you to plug in any image with text on it and it will tell you what font was used to create that image. Pretty handy little tool to have around … and to remember!
