I played around in the sandbox - added my site to the SAPL list and made some comments.
Definitely like the Wiki format and will get lots of experience using PBWiki as a member of the 2010 TLA Program Committee member.

Technorati
An interesting site - one that you can spend a lot of time reviewing the top 100 blogs and the popular lists. Right now, this site is not one of my favorites.

Library Wikis
Enjoyed reviewing the library wikis - my favorite one is MPIC wiki by the Memphis Public Library. It provides guidelines for staff input, sandbox area for staff to learn how to use a wiki, tips on using online catalog, and a lot of useful information.
Once I complete the 23 things, my first project is to create a wiki for Technical Services and develop a wiki on Millennium along with the Digital Services team in the future.

White House Blog
As I was playing around with Technorati, something caught my eye - "Blogger in Chief: Obama first blogging President, Blogosphere abuzz...."

Definitely a step in the right direction from our President and his staff.

It always contains interesting information about ALA, technology, awards, publishing information, and other useful tidbits. In this week's issue, I learned that some of the paintings at Madrid's Prado Museum can be viewed in great detail via Google Maps; the Senate and House have YouTube channels - watch the 111th Congress in action; and learn about the History of the Internet - for boomers it is reminiscing....
