Blog Searches are Fun

I recently set my Bloglines account to search for my own name in other blogs not expecting to get any hits except from my own blog and maybe a few others but sometimes, I get a really nice surprise.

Last year, I wrote an article for LMC a publication for library-media specialists published by Linworth, called "Girls, Goals and Technology". My Bloglines search found me traveling toMrs. B's blog where there was a great discussion about my article.

It's nice to see that my article was read.

Blogging Overload

by Midge Frazel

Subscribing to the feed of the blogs of others using Bloglines is so easy that I have discovered that I have too much to review and read each day. It's something like "biting off more than I can chew".

I can see this is about managing technology information as it once was with email. I find myself breezing through my email messages with my mouse ready to click "Delete" all too quickly.

I do keep wondering how teachers are keeping up with the new Web 2.0 tools since my own Web 1.0 Web pages (some made as much as 9 years ago and sadly out-of-date) are getting a lot of visits especially in November and December.
