technorati

This website has pictures which I love, but I feel like the actual search engine for blogs is not good enough. If you type in Oscar's it comes up with film school blogs and stuff that I really didn't want to see. Then I scroll down the list and finally get a blog with the title Oscar in it. I would expect that link to be at the top of my search.
The top 100 blogs were interesting.
#1 was The Huffington Post- that was a bit surprising to me because I feel like normally gossip and technology would beat out politics.
But don't worry TMZ.com | Celebrity Gossip about Charlie Sheen didn't trail to far behind.

Del.icio.us

I'm not exactly a fan of Delicious. I think that the webpage layout is not visually appealing. I like pictures and icons all of which are not part of the website.

I the fact that you can see your bookmarked websites. The library could definitely incorporate this especially for librarians, by bookmarking websites that they often use. Delicious makes these websites easily available in researching at various computers in the library.

#12 Rollyo

This was harder to do then the rest because when I search topics I usually look through the websites to find a site that looks trust worthy. I don't have set places where I look to each time.
I created a search rolls that most people probably use on a daily basis. I called it am I sick? The reason I did that was because people are always looking up symptoms online to see if they have some death threatening illness. Sometime these sites might be helpful but many times these site just scare people- because they end up thinking they're dying.
This could help to job searches- and other websites to help weed out ads and sites that are not trust worthy.

# A Thing about LibraryThing

I like LibraryThing- It's good and easy to look books up and add them to you catalog. I like the fact that it's linked to amazon and you can easily search by title, keyword, or ISBN # to quickly add items.

I like the tag options because you can keep searching for items easily, within the same topics and it gives you suggestions to look into.

#10 Image Generators

It's a picture of me. From an image generator site I found http://www.writeonit.org/

I liked it more than letter James.

#9 Finding Feeds

Blogline’s Browse Categories Feature was my least favorite, there was a lot going on and the icons are small- not always geared towards what you were actually searching for.
http://www.syndic8.com/ website is not user friendly. It was too black and white.
http://technorati.com/ had pictures and categories that actually fit as well as sub categories which I found very helpful on my search.
In Technorati I found a few good technology and politic feeds.

#8 Make life “really simple” with RSS & a newsreader

I created the Bloglines account and added a few feeds that seemed cool or interesting. I felt that there was too much of a repetition with some feeds while searching to add. On the other hand if there was a website that you really wanted to follow it was easy to copy and paste the websites, just like following blogs.

#7 Blog about Technology

I love technology, with technology you can do anything. Specifically google- if someone mentions a person, movie, or anything else I can find out who or what they are and it's such a great tool.

I can even post pictures that I like!

#6 More Flickr Fun

http://cardkarma.com/explore/occasions/valentines-day/

I like this one because I can use photos from flickr, or upload my very own personal photo to use in my e-card. I can also use youtube videos to create my own personalized e-card to send to my friends and family <3

#5 Discover Flickr

I like this picture because it reminds me of when I was younger. When I was in elementary school Nintendo was so the newest best thing and I remember getting a Nintendo for Christmas. I’m still not the best gamer; actually I would say I’m pretty sad when it comes to video games.
