howstuffworks.com er desværre på engelsk, men er man først villig til at læse engelsk er det et genialt site: Man kan få dybtgående beskrivelser af hvordan alt virker, fra atomkraftværker til energidrikke.
Det er gaven til alle nysgerrige drenge m/k, der som jeg skiller alverdens apparater ad for at se hvordan de virker (og som ikke altid kan samle dem igen). Men det er ikke teknik det hele, du kan også får et bud på hvordan du behandler hunde med adfærdsproblemer, hvordan kalorier virker, hvordan man planter et træ, hvordan en blog fungerer etc. etc.
Faktisk er jeg ret sikker på at man kan slå de fleste af de 23 ting op: Hvordan virker Web 2 for eksempel, eller hvad med podcasts?, eller sociale netværk som del.icio.us, LinkedIn etc., hvordan virker Facebook, eller hvad med chat og programmer som f.eks. Meebo..
Der er sgi dø skønt at få afløb for sin nysgerrighed!!

Smart værktøj til billed søgninger
Hvis du nogen sinde søger billeder på Google, så skulle du prøve PicLens. Hvis du klikker på linket, kommer du direkte til den hjemmeside, hvor programmet kan downloades.
Jeg vil ikke bruge en masse tid på at beskrive hvad programmet gør - Det skal være en overraskelse. - Du vil ikke blive skuffet! Gå hen på siden, download programmet, og lad det så installere sig som en plugin til "Intenet Explorer". - Det fungerer iøvrigt også under Firefox, Safari mm.
Hvorom alting er: Har du her en hurtig og rimelig intuitiv måde at gennembladre tusinder af billeder på, som også er en fryd for øjet! - Og overraskende hurtig... Når du har installeret programmet, vil du på billedsøgninger i Google kunne se en lille firkant med en trekant indeni, når du hviler over et tilfældigt billede med musen. Hvis du klikker på denne firkant, startes programmet, og herefter vil du kunne gennemse dit søgeresultat i 3D med at holde venstre musetast nede, og så trække musen mod højre eller venstre.
Når du har fundet et brugbart billede og valgt det ved at enkeltklikke eller dobbeltklikk på det, skal du blot klikke een enkelt gang på den lille ring, som vist herunder, og programmet lukker så, og åbner den side, hvor programmet har fundet billedet!

librarything.com
Do you have a bookcollection?
If so: Take a look at librarything.com: Its an online bookcatalog with some social software functions: When you add a new book, the system tells you who of the other users has this book, which I think is pretty interesting - especially where only 2 other people has the specific book.
But you can also put you collection on your blog - Take for example, a look at this link cloud:
It is dynamically created by a javascript, that I just copied from librarything and pasted into my blog. In other words; it changes dynamically after each change of my library catalog.
Im danish, and two thirds of my book collection is danish. Some of the tags that I use to describe the content of the books doesnt show the danish letters right. - And others do - This is a very mystic error, that I do not understand, but plan to solve.
Its pretty fast to ad books: The page communicates with a lot of different library and commercial book databases, so that you 98 percent of the time just have to enter the title. Many of the popular books also have coverpictures, and those who doesnt - you can add yourselves.
It has my warmest recommendations: http://www.librarything.com

ITunes file chaos
I cant recommend iTunes enough for downloading podcasts, but letting it organize your music collection could very well end in chaos. This isnt really a recommendation of a link, but I simply have to share this catastrophy:
I usually organize my music in a hierachic folder structure: The first branch is genre, then comes artist and album, and in the album folder comes all the MP3 files named with the number on the album and then the name of the recording.
I have a Tom Jones CD on my music server called Reload, where he plays with different guests. The organisation of the recordings which you see at the picture is the one that iTunes have created. One album torn into 15 subfolders.. - It has simply moved all my files from the original folders. - And it is the same with all my various artists albums, including Budda Bar - the recordings are torn into a pletora of subfolders with one recording pr folder. Its impossible to recreate the unique mix of recordings from the albums now..
I have a music server and 2 network players a "Noxon 2" and one from "Rokulab". The new organisation that iTunes have created in my folder structure makes it f.ex. impossible for me to play all numbers by Tom Jones.
If anything can make me angry, it is this. It takes time to restore 80 gigabytes of data....

Flock never really caught me
A reasonable answer to a statement like the one in the subject, could be: Whenever it is me who have failed or the software... - It takes, on the other hand, two to a tango. Which means, that I might be a lazy son of a bitch, but on the other hand - it might be a special kind of persons, who can keep an interest in link communities alive.
Have you tried it? - There are a lot of services like it - embedded in software, plugins or on webpages. Have you tried it, or any other of the other link sharing communities? One of the most fameous ones is: http://del.icio.us/
I guess that the reason that I lost my interest for it, was that I had to go through a lot of crap, to really find anything worth while - even thou thousand of other users do think that this or that link is marvellous. The idea about sharing the best on the net is great, but I dont think that it works.
I would like you to share your thoughts on it!

Now I know
In the previous post, I mentioned that I couldnt imagine what Flock could do with a blog.
Now I know: There is an add new post button, on the Flock browser toolbar, and when I press it, I can create a post for one of my two blogs, directly in a Flock userinterface... - Very nice!
Flock
Flock is yet another browser, but this one is created as a tool for people who likes to discover resources on the net.
It is a browser which enables you to share, recommend and get recommendations for links. - Its called a community browser; you share your favorites with people, and they share theirs. The resources (websites) gets a score according to how popular they are, and the users give them keywords, which might make it easier to find a relevant link.
The program is a pre. beta release, so its too early to say it it will make critic mass. It looks nice thou, and it works fine - as far as I can see, but I have on the other hand only used it for an hour.
I did create this blot, because the program also works with blogs, but I havent any idea about how, and - why.
