Del.icio.us is certainly a nifty tool. Yet I have been using something similar for a while–Furl, which is also recommended by other librarians. How is Del.icio.us better than Furl? I guess I need to find out about ways to export my stuff from Furl to Del.icio.us?
Both are certainly wonderful tools for research at least.
I set up an account with Del.icio.us, yet can’t add the button/bookmarklet to the browser, since I would need the administrator status to install the software.
This certainly is a fascinating tool. I created one called “Cheap Movie Tickets” at:

I could certainly see great potential uses for a tool like this. Kinda like a one stop searching for any topics of interest.
It keeps saying to help create a library for “books.” What about AV materials?
I then clicked on the Search button and ran a tag search for jet li and found his movies in the collection. Yet, when I tried adding “books” by searching for jet li, only books came up–none of his movies. Quite confusing. Plus there does not seem to be any way to add more than one book at a time, as I have tried holding down Shift key or Ctrl key. You can only add one title at a time, which could be a nuisance.

While I like all three listed, The Generator Blog would be my favorite, esp. the Paparazzi Pic Generator.–it’s hilarious.

i tried all those suggested feed searching tools and kinda like them all. Granted they are not the same, nor were the search results. It certainly is good to ahve a variety of tools. Bloglines seems most versatile, as it searches in posts, feeds, citations and the web!

what can i say about technology? i guess i don’t need to say much because it’s speaking for itself. it’s everywhere in our lives. we simply can’t live without them. i have just read about blu-ray’s victory. just wonder how it won the battle. i am also wondering what to do about the upcoming digital tv era. i know i need to get something for sure.
yeah, technology, can’t live w/o it. and thanks to it, our lives are much better and more fun.
Really impressed with the mashups and the tools. Wow, there is so much you can do with flickr. I am really enjoying this 2.0 lessons.
Thanks, Susan.

Drill Team Performance on 2/2/2008 at High School (Beinu) Reunion. I was twirling the mock rifle 8 times. Luckily I made it–the mock rifle did not drop to the floor.
