technorati

Gizmo's and gossip and politics oh my. I noticed on technorati that there is definitely a theme to the top blogs, either hitting on the newest trends in technology, the latest gossip about our favorite famous stars, and of course the strong opinionated blogs about the current political situations not only here in the U.S. but in other countries. Am I surprised that these are the chosen few out of the thousands of blogs out there to have clawed their way to the top 100, not really! Just look at the local newspaper, msn.com or any other popular source of information and you see the same hot topics. Blogs and the ease that we can now search them, with tools like technorati, have given us many more voices to listen to though about our beloved topics.

Del.icio.us

This is a very handy tool, much better than trying to manage my multiple folders, the tags are much more instinctive. I could see where this would be very useful from as a reference tool. Useful sites could be easly organized and accessed by not only staff but also by our patrons if we were to tie it into our website.
