Tagging, Technorati

I'm enjoying working through 23 Things at the moment, there are so may applications that are useful. I definitely plan to use them in the future both in work and for when I'm travelling in the future. My favourite things so far are Flicker, Blogger and now this week I can add Delicious to my list.

Delicious is a great web tool to synchronize your bookmarks. This has great application for me as I have several computers from which I work as well as personal and student computers. Delicious allows me to add all my favorites no matter where I am logged in which is great, there has been many a time when I have been unable to find that link because I don't have access to bookmarks.

I also looked at using Technorati which is another site that is useful. Technorati can be used to search for blogs, an application that confusingly Blogger does not have. This can be used for those times when you only want to read and search only blogs, especially useful for reference questions such as "what does a library worker do?". Simply refer them to a blog where they can read peoples personal experiences. Also useful for those time burning moments when you can come across bazaar blogs such as Haughty Elf.

I'm also learning new skills on blogger such as adding links into my postings as above. Also experimenting with new blog layouts and design.
