Library Stuff

I just installed More Google and was thrilled with the results. With it, you get:

It’s Free. (link via Del.icio.us)

Oh, there is also a blog for updates.

I’m not into Blogshares (no time, plus I find it boring – I should get my brother involved though), but I found the Libraries Industry section a little interesting. I figured that since I was there, I would also click over to my weblog share information and it looks like my value has gone up $18,000 over the past 13 days. Not too shabby. Look out Google.

If you haven’t yet read Rita Vine’s article enitled Coming Soon – the Death of Search Engines? over at LLRX, stop what you are doing and read it. Every word. I’d put in my usual quotable paragraphs, but every one is worth sharing. So, go read it. Now.

Medical Weblogs is a community-based online aggregator for the medical profession, with sub-categories. Great work. I think the next version of LISFeeds (remember that?) should have something like this. We can break down the feeds into categories: student library blogs, academic library blogs, public library blogs, etc (and of course, have RSS Feeds for each category).

Oh Blake….

Every now and then my IP address changes (it’s not static, plus every now and then I have to reset the router), so this tool will come in handy, as it will show changes in my IP address and lots of other neat stuff (DNS, etc) in my aggregator. I’ve subscribed. (link via Syndic8)
