Way too many blogs.

2007-03-30T17:22:00.000-04:00

For awhile I needed blogs. Too many blogs later I am blogclogged. These dusty blogs cry out against the neglect. I can't hold on to them all anymore. They're weighing me down. (Imagine that?) Thus, I'm saying "Ciao" to all but my BlogClogged blogs and a select few others.

Blogging is dead.

Passé.

I know this in my loins to be true. Yet, for me, the temptation to s-p-e-l-l this out is simply irresistable. Why? Because I can. As easily as finding a synonym for loins--gut--I can expound on the finer points of...well...just about anything. For whom does one blog? From fame to infamy, sea to shore, bent to straight and all delicious variations thereof. It feels like whispering my secrets to a hole in the ground with the vague notion they are not lost, only waiting to be found.

It is so easy to feel blogclogged. Believe me, I know! Beyond Blogger, you might also find some relief from PBwiki.com. At PBwiki.com you can whip out your very own wiki--lickety split.

Content management? Nope, it's more than that (at least I'm pretty sure it is). Apparently it is a new thing (just not a new, new thing). Rather, it's actually a field of study.... This "thing" is, of course, Information Architecture! I am am so happy! I can't wait to learn even more.

I have already slurped up tons of information on the subject, but there is so much more to know (like how much more education beyond a post-graduate degree would one need to move into this field?) Here is where I'm planning to go next (don't be mislead into thinking there is but one lonely link out there, this is a big jumping-off point.)

Have you asked yourself: "What good is this thing?" or, "Why would anyone want to blog?"

Of course, there are many answers to such questions (and more questions, too). Here are a few answers:

"It has long been recognized that the Internet is the largest and most powerful printing press ever known. What weblogs have done is make this printing press available to anyone who has a web connection and the desire to share his or her thoughts with others. Weblogs have been with us for as long as there has been a world wide web, but in the last two years, the number of weblog authors has increased from a few thousand to several million."

And then there were...more than a few!

I poked around in Google's labs section before, but I only just found Google's experimental "sets" feature (Google Sets, Automatically create sets of items from a few examples, 5/20/02). Yes, it's three years old, but it's neat in that it allows you to fashion predictive sets of "like" objects. The possibilities abound! (You might want to compare it sometime with Google's Keyword search tool in the AdSense / AdWords sandbox.)

Not only that, but Google developed a way to keep track of all your Google searches (scary, hunh?). It's like Google Desktop, only...not.

Wouldn't you know it, Google's got it, now there is a Yahoo! flavor, too! (Only the Yahoo! version is "Yahoo! Search MyWeb Beta" and you keep track of your Yahoo!* searches.)

(sheepishly) I never thought I'd be glad to be on AOL -- but, since I am at the moment, I'll tell you (this is impressive) they've got the scoop on the latest in "hot blogging" at the just-launched "Huffington Post." It's the cool pool: from the ranks of keen social observers and commentators such as Ellen Degeneres and Larry David. I can't wait to catch the feed!

What is the Visual Thesaurus?

If you haven't played with this visual language / brain-mapping tool you are missing something.

"The Visual Thesaurus offers stunning visual displays of the English language. Looking up a word creates an interactive visual map with your word in the center of the display, connected to related words and meanings."
