Thing 14: Technorati

I started exploring Technorati and found in the Top Favorited Blog section, the blog for PostSecret. Warning: it's not for the faint of heart. If you've read Post Secret, you know what I mean. That being said, I found it refreshing that it's one of the favorites.

Under Top Searches, I immediately clicked on iphone. This small, yet "powerful" device has been of much debate in our house -- if you know my husband, I'm sure you know his stance on the subject. :) There's a post regarding if there will be a second generation iphone coming out in the fall and all the fanatical hub-bub and flurry that goes along with anything with a lowercase "i" in front of it. Joy.

And for the Top Blogs section, I decided to go to Boing Boing because the name is intriguing! Now here's an iphone--Old School. I wonder how much one of these would be??? Since it's rare, it may be more than the new version.

Thing 13: del.icio.us

I think I finally "get it." At first, I wasn't too sure how this whole del.icio.us thing worked, but now it makes sense (thanks to a few colleagues and their blogs).
The San Mateo library's del.icio.us account is waaaaayyyy cool. Thanks, James, for pointing it out.
I decided to create my account and put in a few items that have helped me on the reference desk and at home (Two Paws Up...love that store.)

Thing 12: Rollyo

This is kinda neat. I decided to create my search roll for all of the ALA-accredited online LIS programs. While I like the idea of rollyo, I'm not really "sold" on how it's organized and its ease of use.

Great Googlie Ooglie!

Update: Google no longer offers this service. Bummer...it was so cool!


Wow! So I went to the training today that Kari and Trina gave on Google and...learned how to order pizza! Actually, we learned how to use Google Maps and a wicked cool feature where you can find a business and Google will actually call it over your home phone for you. It totally worked, too...we just called out for pizza. Rock on! Thanks ladies!

Thing 10: I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for...

Yummy! What flavor will you create? Ben & Jerry's Flavor Generator

Thing 11: My LibraryThing Selections

Wow! This is too cool! I didn't know it was going to be this easy to make a list of my favs. Now I need to figure out if I can organize them by type (childrens, YA, biography). I'm sure there's a way. More titles to come...

What a neat way of organizing some of the blogs I visit frequently. Cool beans!
