i'm ill so this will not be good

Ah, yes. There's the tool I was looking for. Being able to search blog descriptions rather than blog entries (see previous post RSS part bee). The Popular feature is interesting, and I can see how tags come in handy for searchability. Overall the site feels like the Amazon of blogging, with it's user profiles, favorites, authority, tags, and so on. The site is cluttered making is hard to navigate though. But as I play with it more I suppose it'll get easier. I especially like the Authority feature because I can see that nothing I publish online is interesting enough to warrant any, which I already suspected. At least somebody's honest with me.

del.icio.us (see also yummy)

I've had a del.icio.us account for some time now (this will sound familiar), but I don't use it that much. Or rather, I use it in fits and starts. Not having a laptop and relying on the internet so much at work, I fully comprehend and appreciate the beauty though. I actually had all these little scraps of paper with sites I wanted to remember or check out that accumulated, and then I heard about del.icio.us. Most of my personal account is dedicated to home furnishings and accessories. [After I did all that entering of web addresses kaboodle showed up on the scene. Figures.] I wasn't as aware of the social networking aspect of the site and I'm excited to do some networking to see what I can see, especially as it relates to teen programming and readers advisory. If Google weren't so dang good at their job I might rely on it more for remembering frequently used websites, too. Oh, Google. You make us all so lazy. :sigh:
