#14 Technorati

Did a search for Learning2.0 in Blog posts and returned 12,616 hits. Same search in Tags returned 850 posts tagged with that term. In the Blog Directory 832 blogs were found. So yes the results were very different. Interesting to see that Boing Boing is the most popular Blog - in the world! Good to see that Britney is still a favourite search.........

#13 Tagging etc.

I can see how something like delicious would be useful, if you need your bookmarks wherever you go. It is the logical step after web based email I suppose. I especially enjoyed the "cloud of popular tags" where size reflects popularity. Tagging goes hand in hand with keyword searching. Amazon has introduced tagging and some of the tags seem ridiculous to me, but now maybe they will make more sense with my increased knowledge of the subject!

#12 Roll your own

Had a go at Rollyo. Got a bit carried away searching for books and pictures.... The searchroll thing takes a bit of thinking about, but the good thing is you can keep changing it depending on your interest. It can save a lot of time if you always look at the same sites anyway.

#11 All about LibraryThing

Found this very easy to use. Could come in handy for those tricky insurancy situations......or if your house burns down and you need to replace all your books! Have tried a few times to put up my library widget thing, but each time it has gone over the top of everything else, so might keep trying or just leave it.....

#10 Play around with image generators

#9 Finding Feeds

I found the Google finder very useful and easy to use. The only problem is - I could sit all day and read blogs about Veronica Mars and where would that get me?

#8 RSS

Set up the Bloglines account. Don't know if I would find this useful - I tend to change my mind about what I want to look at...... I don't like the idea of somebody choosing for me...

#7 Blog about technology

Ahhh technology - so useful and so scary. Like those tiny tiny cameras that could go anywhere and film anything and then broadcast on the Internet for all to see.............

#6 More Flickr Fun

I was fascinated by the idea of retrievr - but couldn't get it to work. Maybe because my sketch was so crappy???

#5 Explore Flickr

Interesting exploring and seeing that many people have similar obsessions...........

#4 Registering blog

Amazing that so many names are already taken.......

#3 Setting up a blog

This was relatively painless.
