Technorati claimed and del.icio.us abused

Technorati Profile


After spending time with both Tehhnorati and del.icio.us I can see the benefits of Technorati, being able to search for something and getting results in a variety of formats.. eg. blogs, video etc...and link to those others sites of interest etc through tags.

However after spending sometime trying to get a network badge up and alive i think that I'll stick to my interent explorer favourites for the time being. Although I did sucessfully export my favourites in internet explorer in del.icio.us. Great instructions for that. So pleased with that sucess. So a bit of a mix bag really!!!

Skype and MSN

I was playing around with MSN and my Notebook and connected somehow with my son, in the other room, while swearing and cursing that I did not have a headset and mircophone for my computer and I would have to wait until I got to work. He very quietly replied to me VIA MSN that he could see and HEAR everything VIA MY web camera and built-in mic and speakers ....DUH!!


I downloaded Skype a few months ago at the staff Conference, however I have forgotton my user name as the one I USUALLY use was already taken. I have now started again. so will be looking out for someone to chat with this week. So watch out for me.

Well as a Serials librarian I couldn't resist now could I.
