You have to social bookmark and tag. Why? because its the only way to keep track of thousands of bookmarks and reuse them in a smart way. Searching by tags is another powerful way to get information, probably better than traditional searching because tags are created by users while search indexes are created by programs.
TagFetch, searches the various services that utilize tags, You can filter by rich media, bookmarks, blogs, news and more.
You also need to read Steve Rubel everyday. Why? Because he is one of the most relevantly prolific business blogger on the A-List (IMO). Everybody needs a must read blog list. Your must read blog list should have folks you trust and value. Folks that deliver great ideas and links often. Steve blogs about new media, PR, advertising and technology. What makes Steve's stuff different is that unlike many A-Listers, he doesn't focus on scoops or new things, he focuses on things you can use. Things that are not only interesting but practical and useful. That means everyday I find something on his blog that I can use in real life. Visit Steve Rubel's and you'll see what am talking about. Look at the archives and links lists too. I bet you will be there longer than you planned. I am not sure how great the A-List is but I know that Steve is must read for everyone in business and technology.
TagFetch, which searches the various services that utilize tags, has relaunched with a new design that looks a lot like a start page. The site is incredibly handy. You can filter by rich media, bookmarks, blogs, news and more. We need more services like these that glue stuff together. For a sampling, check out this TagFetch page for the "public relations" tag.
