Lets go bloghunting!

I have chosen 3 blogs to follow, even though Farkas been mentioned earlier I do mention her again. After been searching around for a while I went to ALA:s homepage. Thought they would have some great stuff about library 2.0 or at least some good blogs. But I was disappointed. There were blogs, but not many wrote about web 2.0 or library 2.0. There probably are many good blogs there though, and they have a nice own kind of RSS-feed that collects all their blogs in one page.

At least I found 2 other blogs that was interesting. First off is ALA Techsource And I found it sad that they don’t blog under ALA:s blog list. But they have some fun new tech-stuff and I love the “fun” angle on library and technology. The other blog is written by a system librarian and assistant professor Aaron, Aaron the librarian. He is fun, and he writes in a really good way that appeals to me.

It seems that many blogs out there are very good written and there are some spirits in them, but the lack of good categories (if any) starts to annoy me a bit. Would be nice if there was a self-tagging program that did all the tagging for the writer and put it in categories for them. Yeye, I know. Who would set the terms for those categories and so on, but it sure would help me stop getting annoyed of lack of taggs ;-)

As a RSS-thingy, I use Google reader. I did use the one in my browser before, but I find it better to have it on the webb.

Fun

Well, most of the people here have already mentioned the things I use daily, but I found this one cool web 2.0-thingy the other day. I guess you all know about magnetic poetry, which you use on the refrigerator? The gadget is for use in blogs and igoogle and so on, but I found another page with a multiplayer-touch. If several people are online on the page at the same time, they can steal your words and rearrange them! I love it :) Klick here to play!

And yeah, I never heard of igoogle before the class last time. Thank you soooo much for sharing! I play an online game that is in English and several times I need to check time differential, convert money to understand the value, and don’t get me started on all the weird inches and feet’s o.O But now, thanks to igoogle, I can put all in one page and easily access them directly! I’m starting to wonder how I survived without igoogle…(End of commercial)
