If you're looking for a site to visit that has all kinds of tech goodness and interesting links, visit plasticbugs.com. The writer of the blog, Scott, works for the Screen Savers on G4TechTV, and often the sites and information you find on his blog will appear later on the show.
With every new post, I find more interesting information and great links to sites that I know I'll enjoy. I'm glad that there are other people online, scouring the net for great sites.
Take, for example, his post today talking about del.icio.us. Here's an excerpt of the most important part.
Posted by Jordan at September 25, 2004 10:44 AM | TrackBackNow, pay attention. del.icio.us has been described as Google in reverse because of what I’m about to tell you. Here’s how you can be the first person to spot something amazing on the web. Here’s what makes del.icio.us so cool!
- Cool Thing #1: See the most popular things being posted for the day. A constant source of awesome links. Basically, your finger on the pulse of the web!
- Cool Thing #2: By using the syntax del.icio.us/tag/category, you can search for links that other people (including you) have posted with that assigned category. So, if I want to see all the latest links that have been posted about Apple stuff, I can check out tag/apple, or tag/mac, or tag/osx. I think you get the picture. There aren’t any spaces in categores and they’re not case sensitive, so tag/TSS is the same as tag/tss. That’s why it’s tag/osx and not tag/os x.
- Cool Thing #3: If you see a link you like and want to see who else posted that link to their bookmarks, click the link that says “and X other people”. Now you know who also posted that link AND you can see the other links they posted by clicking on their username. So you can see everyone else’s bookmarks! If someone posted a link to a cool site that you like, maybe they posted more great links.
- Cool Thing #4: You can get RSS feeds for the bookmarks of other users whose links you like. So you’ll know instantly when that person posts another link. Or, you can get an RSS feed for a specific category and see it updated with fresh links throughout the day!
