Week 6

I quickly browsed the Technorati site. I don't quite understand it, but I did like looking at the popular searches. One of the ones I clicked on was Ron Paul. I understand he has a lot of buzz on the internet. I was clicked on the Post Secret YouTube link. I had seen that book and then found out about the website at the MLA convention during the main speaker's presentation.
I really liked del.icio.us. I didn't make an account but I will think about it in the future. I like that you can organize your sites. It talked about how useful this is in academia and for graduate students. It is too bad I am graduating at the end of the month. I wasn't sold on this site until Ellen Ward came and said you can open your favorites at any computer. This is great for those who do AskUsNow. It's also helpful for the information desk. You can save great sites you come across and you won't clog up the computer's favorites.
