Technorati

Using the leading search tool for blogs proved to be disappointing to me in the fact that when I used the term Kinesiology in several different searches often times no results would return. There were 31 blogs that were returned when the key word kinesiology was plugged in for a general search, but when I inputed Kinesiology into the Blog Directory no results were given. I was disappointed that there seem to not be very many blogs in relation to Kinesiology or even Physical Education for that matter.  Visiting the different “Kinesiology” blogs also proved disappointing because the sites were more directed towards mind-body connection and one blog site dealt with making clothes! The top 100 sites were mostly daily blogs about life and news worthy material. If I was to use Technorati in the future it seems that the keywords need to be exact in nature so that the blogs targeted are what I am looking for.

Del.icio.us = Delicious???

Is Del.icio.us delicious? I think that this particular bookmarking tool could be very beneficial to individuals that are computer savy as well as individuals who are not. By incorporating all of a person’s bookmarks in one place it could help streamline the research process.  Delicious.com helps the user by categorizing by topics the most popular websites available. The major concern I have regarding the website is once again having another site that I need to keep track of. I suppose the more I use it though the more friendly it will become and will help keep material in a focused place.  Another benefit is that Delicious is accessible anywhere and if I do not have my computer but need to access my bookmarks from school I will be able to do so in a very easy manner. I look forward to creating an account to see how beneficial it will be to use.

Web 2.0

There were actually several sites that were of interest in the Web 2.0 link. I really liked the Oobgolf website. My daughter and I are starting to play a lot of golf and it is interesting to see so much different information on one site. Since also starting my twitter account I have followed new tweets that are beneficial to the Masters Program at FPU.

RSS Feeds

Tonight I created a google reader and subscribed to several different RSS feeds.  The Journal of Teaching Physical Education is one RSS I am particularly looking forward to receiving.  I also subscribed to several different classmates blogs.
