As I gained my knowledge my readers also gained so we all benefited. Inside your blog dashboard click on Settings on right hand side. There is a section there that allows you to change your title. Make sure you check out the manuals on <a href="http://theedublogger.edublogs.org/getting-started-with-edublogs/" rel="nofollow">Getting started with Edublogs</a> - they help.

Sue I'm thinking to start my Edublog as a type of professional reflective practice space. A thinking testing space for ideas but where I can interact with others as part of my PLN to push ideas on-as a newbie. Whatdyou think? If so Id like to rename my blog can I change it inside here please? Cheers Ruth Cool. Sue I’m thinking to start my Edublog as a type of professional reflective practice space.

Glad to hear about wikis - what I find is people often relate easier to wikis than other types initially. Interesting I probably need to rethink Friendfeed.

Eventually I believe Friendfeed will overtake the rest. I practically use it as bookmark/search tool. Of course the more people connected the vastly more interesting and effective. I use it in conjunction with Stumbleupon (I have two browsers so I finally stopped having two profiles on Stumbleupon last night i response to this dialogue!) rather than Delicious purely habit and preference, familiarity but that works well for me. I dont use a mobile phone at this time (solo motherdom$!) otherwise Id be into Twitter alot more...but I like it. However Friendfeed keeps me updated on others twitters so its just easy. You're starting me to engage with wikis by the way at last. Thanks Sue no need to reply Ive tried it its so easy!

The best tool for searching FlickrCC is compfight.com - really quick. Give it a try. I did try to get Photodroppr installed as a plugin for Edublogs but unfortunately it wasn't working properly with Wordpress MU. @Ruth Unfortunately I’m bad and haven’t used Friendfeed but that relates to my information overload situation.

However there are a few too many stages to jump through both on the blog backend and the Flickr search end needs a developer to sort this one out! (Sliderocket integrates creative commons image search/audio to perfection-forget Powerpoint) But I have to say I love Flock as a browser and perhaps once I really learn how to drive it I can aggregate all feeds into it onto the home page and use it to drag and drop images into my blogs etc. Its the beasty for web 2.0 I believe. Not a top 5 perhaps yet but in answer to Shannon above Semantic Search Engine-Hakia www.hakia.com Semantic Search allows for relevant search results. The Hakia Search Engine has a side by side Google/Hakia search results comparison. So there you go Shannon! Semantic search is mainly for research/information gathering, rather than navigating to a specific document source. I' m currently looking at ' search' as a skill set through a food trend watching blog. Ive watched myself hesitate with personal opinions, thinking to not alienate people, but also Id like to encourage student/others opinions. So In that case I have to walk the talk. Its as much a repository for ideas for a unit and a Blogger Learners License!
