Google homepage is your iGoggle

iGoogle http://www.google.com/ig I direct current RSS notices of my research topics to iGoogle. Google Reader http://www.google.com/reader I direct general RSS notices to Google Reader Tool #4

I put a GoogleReader widget on my iGoogle page so I could follow all “worthy things to know”

Websites and RSS Subscribe to a website if you want to follow its updates if it has the option of RSS or Subscribe

Google Blog Search Tool #5 http://blogsearch.google.com/

http://www.google.com  More  Blogs

Add blogurl:edu to the search and you’re looking at blogs coming from an education domain. (gov, com, web, org) RSS Health care debate blogurl:edu

From my iGoogle: www.google.com/ig Blog Searches I posted to my iGoogle page. This is how RSS looks when active.

KEOTAG.com http://www.keotag.com It works: keyword social networks individually Search across 14 different sites Tool #6

A twitter search brought up an academic resource I didn’t know existed!

The second result is exactly what I hoped to find. A twitter statement leading straight to a presentation on academic libraries and Web 2.0

“ I’ve learned to follow the hunch but never assume where it will go.” Even Williams

You Tube for Academic Research Tool #7

Web 2.0 is all about sharing. I want to share this video with my Twitter followers. Tool #8

The share feature wrote the text and put in the link. I merely clicked enter.
