Technorati is not Paradise City

While I'd really like to go to Paradise City (but preferably not with Axyl Rose) I can quite happily say I don't really want to go back to Technorati.

I spent sometime perusing it, checking out things, searching 'Breaking Dawn', being glad I'm not as obsessed with Bella and Edward as most teenagers seem to be...Truth be known this 4th book has caused me some grief. While it's very readable I'm just not sure how much I'm actually enjoying it. I was tired of Bella and her constant I'm not good enough for Edward dribble, I am tired of Edward being perfect all the time and I miss the cast of side characters even if Jacob is given his own 'book', everything is just a tad to convenient and easy... But back to Technorati....

If I'm ever after someone’s personal opinion on anything I'll use Technorati. People on blogs like to ramble, share their thoughts and opinions (this post is a perfect example of that) but that's the only thing that would get me back to Technorati.

Tag, You're IT!

Back in the day as a wee small thing, we'd play tag for hours. Tag was a great way to play catch and punch with those you really liked. Now days I'm a bit more adult like and can actually tell someone when I really like them instead of waiting for them to work out that my constant harassment of them is actually a ploy to let them know I like them.

Now I get to play tag on the internet, which doesn't involve any form of physical violence (cause that's not ok!) but does involve me sharing my thought patterns with the world! Lucky world.

I can see the attraction of del.icio.us; I'm forever bookmarking websites, shoving links in folders or saving things under really long names to help me keep track of them. And sometimes I still can't find what I'm looking for! But as for some of del.icio.us most popular tags, they make me shudder; software, programming, tutorial, javascript, linux, business, flash, css....boo-oo-ring! Luckily the list redeemed itself with the tags travel and food. Now that's what I call delicious!

And I found a great website from the food tag, http://www.lovefoodhatewaste.com/. It incorporates my two most favourite things 1. food and 2. plastic containers. I HATE throwing food out, I keep all leftovers and much to my boyfriend's amusement I am a freezer queen (betcha didn't want to know that about me).

High on my website discover I decided to create a del.icio.us account but I couldn't add the 'delicious' button onto my toolbar. I tried in vain and I kept getting kicked off the Internet. So although there's a manual way to deal with delicious I ain't willing to do it. I want the button!
