search & discovery
On samoore.stikipad.com, I used blog discovery. I clicked on Icerocket, where I was able to search myspace, the web, news and blog sites for links people have posted about topics I was interested. For example, I searched blogs for "iphone" and found thousands of articles pertaining to the iphone, something I post a lot of on del.ici.ous. I then typed "Sigma Kappa" (my sorority) and found blog entries people had posted on livejournal that contained that phrase. I was amazed that I stumbled across strangers personal diaries. I next used blog search and clicked on blogpulse. I used blogtrends to find out the most frequently discussed topics in blogs around the world. You can view the discussion topics by category. I looked under business, and read about gas, solar energy, etc. Just a few days ago, gasoline was a topic of conversation in 13% of blogs! Using blog search and blog discovery will help me find sites to tag on my del.ici.ous site. I was getting tired of using gadgets.originalsignal.com to find articles to post. Links posted on IceRocket will be especially helpful.Posted by mchughme at February 8, 2007 10:47 AM
