Technorati tracking: Blog posts mentioning the candidates

28 05 2008

The following graphs compare how often the Democratic and Republican candidates for president are mentioned by name in the blogosphere, both in the last 30 days and in the last 90 days. We’ve also included charts for several wild-cards who are not candidates (yet?).

Conversations in the “world live web” reflect how interesting a candidate is to bloggers; a candidate may get a lot of mentions for both positive or negative reasons. (Full disclosure: TechPresident editor Micah Sifry is the older brother of Technorati founder David Sifry. Display of these charts is part of their secret plan for world domination.)

Using Del.icio.us in Education

28 05 2008

I think that Del.icio.us is one of the most useful Web 2.0 tools. It facilitates:

- saving and accesing your bookmarks online

- promoting your own sites (you bookmark in Del.icio.us your best pages, dont you?)

- finding bookmarks from other users on your network (they are searching for relevant sites for you)

- networking with other users who are inyour network.

- reading your networks bookmarks, since Del.icio.us provides convenient RSS feeds.

- use a profile tag, such as emapeys bookmarks tagged with
profile on del.icio.us

and important sites linking to you.
