Week 6, Exercise 14: Technorati

So, I just claimed my blog on Technorati!

http://www.technorati.com/blogs/jamisonsblog-jamison.blogspot.com

I really like the advance search. You can even search by just tags then it gives you the options to view: Quick View, Posts, Blogs, Videos, and Photos! It really gives you different information, especially if you do a keyword search for in Blog posts, in tags and in the Blog Directory.


Let's see if I can successfully add a tag to this blog post...

Week 6, Exercise 13: Tagging, folksomonies & social bookmarking in Del.icio.us

This is a new technology that I can not wait to use at home to add my favorite websites that I have bookmarked on my computer. They are, just as the tutorial said, unorganized and overwhelming. I think this is a great tool!

I love the idea that you can use the social networking aspect of this to find new websites you did not know of and add them to your del.icio.us tags- what a great ideal and handy tool!

I also really like that I can access my bookmarks from anywhere, not just my home computer. That is a very helpful feature so that I don't have to remember or search for my favorite sites when I am working on other computers.

I can definitely see this has great potential as a wonderful tool for research assistance. You can create a whole list of tags and share with others that may be researching the same topic- then you would both mutually find even more resources!

Turtle Rescue 2.0

On the way to lunch today with Dina, Rebekah, Nina, and Ayesha, we spotted a turtle in the middle of the road on SW 30th Street. Dina hopped out to move it over to the side so that it would not be hit when she noticed that it had a hook in it's mouth! We decided the turtle's plight was more important than a nice lunch out and took the turtle, who we named Claire, to the Wildlife Care Center in Fort Lauderdale. She is now in the good hands of the vet there and if she fully recovers, they will put her back in the area she was found. If she needs extra care, then they will find a good home for her.

Save the turtle, save the world!!!!!!!

If you ever come across and injured animal, please take it to the Wildlife Care Center:

Rollyo

I enjoyed figuring out Rollyo- I had never heard of it or used it before.

I think this would be great for the library to create either subject specific searches (i.e. business or science) or age specific searches (i.e. teens).

I added my rollyo to my blog, but it is here as well. I tried a travel search.

Consipiracy Theory Generator:

What They Don't Want You to Know

In order to understand Technology you need to realize that everything is controlled by a Library made up of intellects with help from Librarians.
The conspiracy first started during launch of the TLC 2.0 program in South Florida. They have been responsible for many events throughout history, including the Moon landing.

Today, members of the conspiracy are everywhere. They can be identified by talking in soft voices.

They want to confuse TLC 2.0 participants and imprison resisters in Alligator Alley using sail boats.

In order to prepare for this, we all must learn and participate. Since the media is controlled by news stations we should get our information from blogs.
