Thang #4 - Now We're Talkin'

Well, silly me!
The concerns I expressed in Thang #3 are taken care of in Thang #4. RSS, where have you been all my life? Although I was familiar with the RSS icon (and even knew the meaning of the acronym), I hadn't done anything to organize blogs and news. Ain't technology amazing? I've now selected a number of pertinent blogs and news sites through Google Reader. I can see how this could become "addictive" and life could be consumed by catching up with blog updates. Thank you to the great minds who've used technology to save our time!

Thang #3 - Blog Searching

Perhaps my advanced age is showing here although I hadn't previously considered myself a technology "curmudgeon!"

I've not been a blog searcher to date, and I'm not sure if I'll be doing a lot more of it other than to locate information for specific tasks. It was sort of fun to explore Technorati and Google Blog Search. I've decided that my personal preferences for blog searching include a no-nonsense, familiar interface that allows me to find information quickly. Therefore, my vote is for Google over Technorati. In addition to the comfortable familiarity of Google, I liked its lack of advertising.

Thang #1: Set Up a Blog

... and I'm off!
Hey, library bloggers! Though this is not my first attempt at blogging (check out my KRAB), I always learn something new! I've added a counter to this blog, and I'll look forward to seeing who visits. Come back and visit often ... I tend to get bored quickly and will probably change it up quite a bit.
