Thing #14 - Technorati

Technorati was something I have heard of referred to several times, but I never took the time to check it out. I really found the Technorati list of popular searches, blogs, and videos to be very interesting. It was neat to see that some of the top searches were directly related to most recent news events.

Most importantly it is a great way for me to stay up-to-date on the latest funny YouTube video.

Thing #13 - Del.icio.us

I do think that del.icio.us is a good tool for people that use bookmarks a lot and a great way to share them. However, I found this 'thing' to be a bit boring and not as fun as some of the other 'things'. I rarely use bookmarks and normally if I am looking to find a site that I already know about, I just Google the name of the site. If I don't know what site I am looking for I just google the topic and find sites that I am looking for.

In fact, it is annoying that my Google results are getting cluttered by all these del.icio.us results when someone tags a site with a similar subject that I googled for, and it is normally a site that was already returned in my Google results!

Form Tools

I found a neat little form utility today while I was looking for some way to make it easier for me to create forms.

Form Tools

The only thing this was missing that I would have liked for the form I am currently working on is to be able to use relational tables

Thing #12 - Rollyo

As someone who does frequent google searches for help with php, mysql, and javascript programming I think Rollyo will be very helpful. I just finished setting up my own rollyo search for PHP Scripts, you can see it over on the right side of the screen.

I have only done a few searches so far, so I can not say how accurate the results are, but it is certainly something I will try the next time I am seeking programming advice.

Thing #11 - LibraryThing

Continuing onwards with my journey of 23 things...

Today I discovered LibraryThing.com and I think this is a great tool to allow book lovers to share their thoughts and feelings with other book lovers. Check out my LibraryThing catalog here.

Thing #10 - Creating Avatars

It was my first time playing around with Meez and I thought it was very neat. I loved all the free options available to create and customize your avatar. Check out my Meez avatar over on the right.

Thing #9 - Finding RSS Feeds

I found the most useful tool for finding RSS Feeds was actually just using the Bloglines Quick Pick tool. It had all of the RSS feeds that I was looking for and it even included some feeds that I didn't know about!

Thing #8 - Bloglines

Today in the wonderful world of 23 things I explored the services provided by bloglines.com. Although I was already familiar with RSS, it was a nice opportunity to explore this site. Click here to check out my very techie RSS feeds.
