14. Technorati

Oh-Ma-Gosh! Who knew? I guess I'm not computer savvy, defintely not internet savvy! Who has time to check out all these different search/blog/bookmarking sites and keep them updated? I hear about people spending hours each night on the computer...that's not for me.
I did learn about tagging and how Technorati/ "spiders" or "webcrawlers" use them for information about a webpage or blog.

13. Del.icio.us

Interesting site, I can see where it would be useful for research projects. It's a bit formal for my use, I'd rather just use my browser's bookmarks. I did find two interesting sites that have been tagged many times: A sex-offender site, creepy, I found out who's a registered sex-offender in my area: http://locator.thevision2020.com and www.estudiomopa.com , a great latin graphic design site.

12. Rollyo

Rollyo didn't do much for me. It reduced my amount of searching power, unless of course I put many websites in there. My Rollyo: http://www.rollyo.com/index.html
I like to consider myself reasonably computer savvy, but this is just going too far. KISS.

11. LibraryThing

I checked out LibraryThing. Interesting way to log in books read, likes/dislikes etc. It would be very useful, although I doubt I'll keep up with it. I'll try though, would be good to keep track of my husband's books, he reads like a fiend. He loves that I'm working at the library, I'm his book "connection"...

10. Online Generator

Great site, lots of fun! Can't wait to tell all my friends how easy this is to use!!!

Thing 9. Finding newsfeeds. I think Bloglines search works as well as others, although Feedster sure is pretty. They all seem to come up with a mix of things, including some blogs that are ad related.

Thing 8. I learned about RSS feeds and signed up for a Bloglines newsreader account. It's pretty cool, but even though it saves time looking at individual sites, it's still time consuming so I probably won't use it much.

Thing 7. I'm a big fan of iTunes. Love, love, love those iTunes.

Thing 6. Lots of dogs and horses on Flickr. Fun way to see people's photos. I learned about Mashups. I was concerned about copyright infringement, so I did a search about that. Sure enough there are many lawsuits out there over Mashups.

Thing 5. I like Flickr and set up an account. My name is "Dreamboat Mason" and I posted a picture of my dog, Mason. It asked if I'd like to set up a web address using that name, so I did, but the link doesn't work. (?)

Lisa and I tried to post picture off Flickr to this blog but could not get it to come through.
