For Valentines Day! Things I Love about the Online World

Expression – I love picking domain names for websites, and actually get a little sad that I have to choose just one.  Perhaps I can have a couple and re-direct them.  Then I get to decide what I want it to link to.  I can forward my domains for free to my blog at Blogger.com, my cool Flickr Slideshow, my Facebook page or even my Twitter.

Collecting – I like to use a compendium of online apps to store all my stuff, access it anytime, from anywhere, and share parts of it with friends and family.  It’s more organized than “Favorites”. I’m a sorting kind of guy; by using a social bookmarking tool like Delicious , I can organize and categorize content I find online.

Entertainment – Nowadays a lot of websites have features that run on their own.  I play music based on mood from Musicovery.com.  YouTube recently added playlists to the search results; now you can search on words – take ‘ambient’ for example – and it will play a full playlist for you.  Lucky Seven Internet Radio streams in, and has any genre you could want to listen to. Once my music is going, I sometimes pop over to Flickr to search for Images. When I find something I might want to look at, I click the “slideshow” link, it displays photos over the music I’m playing. Try this out with 3D Anaglyph Glasses for fun.

Then there are the movies. There are a lot of  interesting free documentaries online if you search.  And podcasts, which you don’t need an iPod to listen to. Check out  podcast directory for example. And, of course, Blogs Blogs Blogs.

A lot to LOVE.
