POPSDel.icio.us overhaul to delicious.com I use del.icio.us to bookmark all the great stuff I find online. The fact that the service is being overhauled is good to hear; not because I I ever have trouble with the service, I am perfectly content with the way it is now, but I love new features and capabilities. I will miss having to describe to people its not delicious it's del dot icio dot us, and getthing that quizzical look and repeating it again.

POPSMonitorThis: rss keyword feeds on steroids I'm in love. Oh yes, with a search engine, but not just any search engine. This search engine will sign me up for 22 different search engine feeds (listed below) in one click. All I had to do is enter my search term, import the .opml file into my FeedDemon and snap, signed-up to receive updates on my selected keywords from 22 different search engines, wow that was easy. I dont know about anyone else reading but I have been spending endless amounts of times signing up for keyword searches on various search engines like feedster, ice rocket, google blog search, etc. I would always dread having to do this task. But now, new client... new project... no problem

POPSDel.icio.us PR I am in the process of convincing my fellow co-workers to try out del.icio.us as a way to track their own research and compile news hits and webpages that discuss our clients. I have found in principle they think it is great idea and they see the value in it, but in practice they stick with saving bookmarks in their browser. Another barrier to entry... the concept and practice of tagging information. I've began to conduct weekly all staff training sessions on social media and del.icio.us is a tool I am determined they will learn and use.

POPSSocial media in the classroom I'm not sure if this is just cheerleading for web 2.0, but some of the ideas look promising. Don't know if they'd work out in practice. From Nov. 2005.
