Well I've been having more fun trying out new technology. I've been investigating tagging and folksonomies - basically that means being able to creating content and commenting on this content and other people's content. Quite a social way to be really. I've been playing with LibraryThing (which I love and intend to spend a lot more time on). You'll no doubt notice that I've put the LibraryThing widget on this blog so anyone can see a small selection of the books that I've read recently.





Another new addition to my rantings is the del.icio.us link. This allows me to save all my website favourites or bookmarks in one place - it's not stuck on a particular computer. How cool is that? There are still more of my favourite bookmarks that I need to save. I've got my fingers crossed that I can get to this shortly.





I've been a busy muppet and have had a look at Technorati too. It is the leading search tool and authority on blogs. It tracks blogs and you can see what is popular in the world of blogging and can also make sure your blog is being tracked. So much technology, so little time.Things to rant about....well I'm feeling a little mellow at the moment (probably because the mupp-ettes are on holidays and visiting the grandparents - they'll be back soon though). Stay tuned more more ranting next time.

Eureka! I've discovered RSS feeds

Yes back again. This time on my voyage of
technologic-al discovery I've been exposed to RSS feeds. (As a person who hates acronyms when they are not explained, it stands for Real Simple Syndication. There I feel better about the abbreviation already.)

I've subscribed to 7 feeds and now when I log onto my RSS reader (you've got to have one of these to be able to view the feeds that you've chosen to subscribe to) I am instantly shown the latest news, information or cute picture or comic without having to go hunting for it on the web. It's FANTASTIC! I am totally won over by this.

Who said an old muppet can't learn new tricks?

I'm keeping this posting short and sweet as I have more things to discover and blog about in a RST (really short time). Sorry about that - I thought I'd finish as I started - with an acronym.
