My friends and I enjoy making fun of dating rituals, fitness magazines, and current events on our website. Therefore, I decided to make a Rollyo searchroll based on current events. I find this to be a very cool little tool. Select the Singles' Health News option from the drop down menu below and search for a current event topic:

LibraryThing
Yay for LibraryThing! Due to the generosity of PLAN, I got to meet the founder of LibraryThing in DC at the CIL Conference. He's a very cool guy, even if he isn't a librarian. Thanks, PLAN!
I have catalogued almost 250 books in my catalog, but I have many more to go.
I even have a LibraryThing widget on my MySpace page!

Locating Newsfeeds
In a world of Information Glut, where it's almost impossible to keep up with the news, your email, AND what your neighbors are up to, I'm thankful for search engines of all kinds. If you have the time or inclination to keep up with your RSS feeds, these search engines will come in handy:
Bloglines search engine: I experimented with this newsfeed search engine by searching for PLAN's Navigating New Technologies, and the feed appeared on the right side of the screen (posts appear as the search results down the left side of the screen).
Feedster: I wasn't able to easily find the particular feeds I searched for with Feedster, possibly because it indexes so many sites, but it is interesting to note that Feedster searches podcasts.
Technorati: This website has my sense of humor. From the main tagline ("Zillions of photos, videos, blogs, and more: some of them HAVE to be good") to their WTF tab, I enjoy Technorati's enthusiasm for gorging oneself fully in the Information Glut. When I searched for PLAN's 23 Things, it popped up right away. I prefer this method over Bloglines' search engine. I even joined Technorati to claim this blog and my Singles' Health blog. They gave me this cool little icon. Click on it!
