week 6, thing #14, technorati and tags

Technorati is a source of information by bloggers for bloggers. After doing a keyword search for “School Library Learning 2.0,” I came across something that I felt was worth looking into some more, Pageflakes. It allows one to take feeds from a variety of sources and place them onto one page or more. This will make a great teacher page. Pageflakes, a tool of tools.

week 6, thing #13, tagging and discovering Del.icio.us

Through Del.icio.us, I will come to rely on having all of my bookmarks accessible from any online computer--searchable, tagged, shareable and the "Links For You" feature bringing in more. It will help me keep current and will let me easily find my past. Just the ability alone to have all my bookmarks online and easily accessible from both home and from work is indispensable. In summary - a fantastic knowledge hosting/sharing site all for free.
