ROLLYO Rollyo stands for "Roll Your Own Search Engine." Using Rollyo, you create a searchroll. A searchroll is a collection of the sites you trust and find useful. It's a personal search engine you create to provide relevant results from a hand selected list of reliable sites. Each searchroll gets its own Web address, so you don't have to wade through the whole Rollyo site to get to it, and you can email this address to others. You can even add your searchroll to the drop-down list of search engines in the toolbar of the Firefox Web browser, so you can search it without first navigating to the Rollyo site.
PubSub PubSub is an automated system that constantly matches your search terms against millions of blogs, online discussions, news releases and SEC filings, and notifies you when there is a match Aesir Tool helps customize your search from search engines you trust.

ACM tutorial on social bookmarkings | Bookmarking managers |Social Bookmarking tools Social bookmarking is a user-defined taxonomy system for bookmarks. Such a taxonomy is sometimes called a folksonomy and the bookmarks are referred to as tags. Unlike storing bookmarks in a folder on your computer, tagged pages are stored on the Web and can be accessed from any computer. Technorati, a blogging site, describes the system as "The real-time Web, organized by you." Web sites dedicated to social bookmarking, such as Flickr and del.icio.us, provide users with a place to store, categorize, annotate and share favorite Web pages and files. According
to the January 24, 2006 issue of the Wall Street Journal, “Yahoo and Others
Embrace “Tagging” as a Better Way to Find and Store Information”. This
article explains “Americans conduct nearly 200 million internet searches
every day. Now several companies
want to make this process by transforming the
way people look for and store information. The
new method, dubbed “tagging” addresses a common complaint of many Internet
users – that searching is often clumsy and inefficient.
Web surfers often must sift through multiple pages of search results to
find what they are looking for. And
retrieving the best sites a second time often means redoing the search or
trolling trough an unorganized list of sites that you have haphazardly saved
in a “favorites” folder.

Geotagging /Mashes and Maps - geotagging allows users to geographic information, such as an address, or latitude and longitude, to any digital content - everything from photographs and videos to news articles and blog posts. Then the content can be easily displayed on an online map or cross-referenced with other information about the location. Geotagging is related to another online practice called "mashups", where users place information, such as real estate listings onto an online map. So far, the most popular application for geotagging has been online photos.

Evaluating Sources of Information
There are two ways to navigate through life easily: First is to question everything, the second is to question nothing. In either case, thinking is not required. This may just support the assertion that second hand information is like second-hand smoking, and just as deadly, particularly in the exponentially growing digital universe.
Evaluating
online sources of information is not much different than critical
reading – below is an outline of a suggested process, including attributes
of information, attributes of poor
problem solvers and getting
to knowledge Context and Timeliness
Analysis
A. Author What are the
author's credentials--institutional affiliation (where he or she works),
educational background, past writings, or experience? B. Date of
Publication When was the source published? Is the source
current or out-of-date for your topic? C. Edition or
Revision Is this a
first edition of this publication or not? Further editions indicate a source
has been revised and updated to reflect changes in knowledge, include
omissions, and harmonize with its intended reader's needs. D. Publisher If the source
is published by a university press, it is likely to be scholarly. Although the
fact that the publisher is reputable does not necessarily guarantee quality,
it does show that the publisher may have high regard for the source being
published. E. Title of
Journal Is this a scholarly or a popular journal? This distinction is important because it indicates different levels of complexity in conveying ideas.
Content Analysis
A. Intended
Audience What type of
audience is the author addressing? Is the publication aimed at a specialized
or a general audience? Is this source too elementary, too technical, too
advanced, or just right for your needs? B. Objective
Reasoning- Is this intended to persuade or manipulate? Is the
information covered fact, opinion, or propaganda? I Does the
information appear to be valid and well-researched, or is it questionable and
unsupported by evidence? Assumptions should be reasonable. Are the ideas
and arguments advanced more or less in line with other works you have read on
the same topic? The more radically an author departs from the views of others
in the same field, the more carefully and critically you should scrutinize his
or her ideas. Is the author's point of view objective and impartial? Is the language free of emotion-arousing words and bias? C. Coverage Does the work
update other sources, substantiate other materials you have read, or add new
information? Does it extensively or marginally cover your topic? Is the
material primary or secondary in nature? Primary sources are the raw material
of the research process. Secondary sources are based on primary sources. D. Writing

Attributes of poor problem solvers - unable to properly evaluate sources of information

How Google Evaluates Information - The Panda Express Panda is a Google search
algorithm and "... just one of roughly 500 search improvements we expect to roll out to search this year,” writes Google Fellow Amit Singhal on the Google Webmaster Central blog. “In fact, since we launched Panda, we’ve rolled out over a dozen additional tweaks to our ranking algorithms. Search is a complicated and evolving art and science, so rather than focusing on specific algorithmic tweaks, we encourage you to focus on delivering the best possible experience for users.”
