I am a big fan (sucker?) for the end of the year summaries that abound at this time of year.
And, I love lists. So, here is a list of lists….
Presenting my faves for the end of 2009 and the end of the first decade of the 2000s (naughties? noughties? oughts? aughts? What did we call them?)
DJ Earworm – United States of Pop 2009

And, for good measure, I just had to use the “My Year in Status” application in Facebook to build a status collage for 2009.

I also had to go visit Wordle and do something there with my blog posts from 2009. And, here it is.
Yes, it took me a year to figure out the use of Twitter but I use it almost everyday for work and personal learning, news, entertainment, and more. Kinda cool to see everybody all together.
Get your twitter mosaic here.
I don’t think my geek cred is enough to understand all of this…but, it still just seems magical enough to be cool to me!
Google uses its ubiquitous search of all things – Flickr, Twitter, blogs, etc..and you can find out what is connected..either how you connect to yourself in other social sites and also how you are connected to friends. I need to spend more time with it but was fascinated with my quick test. I entered the three blogs I write and then, presto – up popped my Flickr and my Pownce sites. (and I had totally forgotten I had a Pownce site).
I got all Spock-like…”fascinating”.
I am in the middle of moving my office at work. That coupled with two days of out of town meetings last week means that I have been all but silent on the blogosphere. When I checked in today, I was a bit sad to see the last 5 postings were from my del.icio.us posting “thingy” (their word – not mine..I would use doodad or some other technically savvy term).
That struck me as blog-lazy. So, I deleted that. My plan was to use that feed as a way to make a very easy backup of the sites that I link in del.icio.us. And, it is that. But, it also seems to be the only fresh content and I don’t really like that so much.
So, off to find something else for capturing the deliciousness of social bookmarking but without acting like it is the main author of the blog.
