#14 Getting not-so-technical with Technorati

I learnt about Technorati. A useful information gathering tool. I like how one can search for anything in any blog.

Searches brought up targeted results. Popular searches brought up relevant results. I liked how the graph showed how many mentions there had been in the past month.

I think this may help some clients to find information on a specific topic.

I have tagged the post. I have also claimed my blog.

#13 Tagging, folksonomies & social bookmarking in Del.icio.us

I learnt about del.icio.us. I think it would be useful for those with wide ranging interests, or alternatively, a very specific focus.

I like how it manages favourite websites – bringing order to chaos!

I like how it categorizes websites, is accessible from any computer, and can increase ones knowledge in a particular area.

#12 Roll your own search engine with Rollyo

I learnt how to create a Searchroll using Rollyo. I like Rollyo because one can search for a specific thing in targeted sites. It would be useful for someone wanting to search for something in a specific type of website or websites. For example only those dealing with the subject of vision impairment.

#11 All about LibraryThing

I like how LibraryThing connects you with others with similar reading interests, see all sorts of information about a book, gives you ideas for future reading,

It could help borrowers to form relationships with other like-minded readers, or give them ideas for future reading.

#10 Play around with Image Generators

These are great because one can use their creativity to create new things.

I like this one because it creates patters out of textual material which are pattern-like in themselves.

#9 Finding feeds

Which method of finding feeds did you find easiest to use?
I like the direct method. It is a targeted approach. Once found, it is simply a matter of going to the icon directly.
Which Search tool was the easiest for you? I liked Feedster - it searches a wide variety of feeds, is easy to use, has relatively clearly delineated sections, and the search box fits neatly into the screen frame.
Which was more confusing? Topix.net - too much clutter!
What kind of useful feeds did you find in your travels? Librarians' Internet Index - a world of information on a wide variety of subjects!
What other tools or ways did you find to locate newsfeeds? Bloglines' list of the current popular websites.

#8 Make life "really simple" with RSS & a newsreader

What do you like about RSS and newsreaders? I like it how all the latest information on one's chosen topic are served up to the reader in one place.
How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your work or personal life? I think I will be able to use it to keep abreast of the latest developments, and discover all the latest relevant information on my chosen topics, both of work and personal interest. I anticipate that this will increase my awareness of current developments.
How can libraries use RSS or take advantage of this new technology? Libraries can use it to keep clients updated on the latest developments pertaining to their library.
