Thing 14 Technorati

Wow, I never realized how many people are blogging. Technorati enables you to access a wealth of information shared by helpful people just like yourself. My search for "learning 2.0" revealed almost 200 blogs dedicated to that subject alone and the number of blog posts was 3,685! I have claimed my blog and I am working on a watchlist. My only concern is finding too much information! How will I read it all? :~)

Thing 13 Del.icio.us

This is an excellent tool for anyone who has a computer at home and a dedicated computer at work. Finding bookmarks at home or abroad so to speak can be quite handy. I would think this would be very helpful for those doing research for a project. Having your bookmarks all in one place at a click could save alot of trees. Nice.

Thing 12 Rollyo

Well, I rolled my own search engine. I can see where this would be helpful. It is kind of a narrow things down type of tool. Search, but only search here. So what did I choose? YA Literature of course!

Thing 11 Library Thing

How cool is this?? Readers rejoice and do the happy dance of your choice! My very own personal reader's assistant. Check out my library. I've been stuck on paranormal stuff lately. Hmmmm...

Thing 10

Image generators are fun! I couldn't believe the sheer number of them available or the possibilities of sharing them in one way or another. I created a road sign and a fun cartoon image.

Thing 10 my road sign

Thing 9

I played around with the search tools for feeds. Technorati was hands down my favorite. I went looking for blogs about/for Young Adult Literature or Teen Librarians. There are just scads of talented librarians out there doing their best to serve that ever challenging patron group. I must say - it is never boring!
