Labels...

As mentioned before, I like the idea of a 'word cloud' of labels... as in the Paper Cuts blog from the NYT. The best I can do for now is Blogger's label list (see near the end of my sidebar). I found a blog called betabloggerfordummies which looked as though it had the solution, which I was still unable to use...
If anyone has any ideas out there...

Technorati

I hit Technorati on a bad day, but I signed up my blog and inserted a widget! ... I loved their error messages tho' : "Doh! The Technorati Monster escaped again." and "Sorry! We have a zillion pages, but not that one. The good news is that you've successfully discovered our spartan, but friendly Error page." from the link from Manukau's paragraph about claiming one's blog...

I saw the differences between the searches, I had a look at Boing Boing and I actually enjoyed the concept - more so than my previous post on del.icio.us. Maybe it was prettier? I also, one day, want a tag cloud... have a look at the one on Paper Cuts, the NYTimes Blog about books.

del.icio.us or not

Dare I say it... del.icio.us is not really my thing. I had a good look at the PLCMCL's bookmarks, and tried to find my way through the rather confusing searches.
But, I have a hard enough time trying to think of good enough 'reviews' or tags for books I have read, for example, without trying to interpret other people's. I worry that I cannot think of enough 'tags' to catch all the possibilities that might be out there. I am so glad cataloguers exist.

BUT I can see that there will be people who will enjoy this kind of random exercise. I can see the potential for finding sites that others have tagged, but I will just use other people's and I don't need to create my own. Another case of the time factor again?

Potential for Readers Advisory.
Potential for tidying up the huge (and clumsy) list of 'favourites' on our generic computers.
