Technorati

My, there are a lot of people who have things to say about Sanjaya!! For me, it was the most interesting to check the "top searches". I also went to google and typed in "Sanjaya blog" and "Sanjay blog posts" and got many blogs as well. Including the link to technorati's list of Sanjaya blogs.
I feel like I have been repeating myself about many of the things we have been learning. It is wonderful to learn and I feel much more knowledgeable about what is "out there" on the web. But, these things are not useful to me. I can't give up what little time I spend with my family to search the web and use these tools.

Rollyo and Delicious

Interesting idea and it was fun to look at Debra Messings roll. I used my passion in life to create my roll - shopping! I would not use it in my personal life and I do see how it can be helpful for research or reference help. If you have millions of questions on American Indians, create a roll for that. Or science fair projects. But, we are trying to encourage the students to use our databases for research and you can choose a cross database search from the list alphabetically and/or by category. So, shouldn't we use that feature? I feel the same way toward Del.icou.us. There are probably only 3 sites that I religiously check. That is not enough to set up a permanent account in either of these. Although, the idea is great (especially being able to access it from anywhere), it wouldn't work for me. It was fun checking the popular and recent tags posted. I found a weird little cartoon with Harry Potter in it!! :)
