Go check out the Google International Zeitgeist for information on who is searching for what, from where.  You’ll be surprised.

Speaking of blogging tools, has anyone ever used Elicit?  It’s supposed to be the end-all, be-all of integration, including del.icio.us, flickr, amazon, and so on.  If anyone has used it, or is using it, I’d love to read a review from you.

    Beginning with the invention of the Word Wide Web by Tim Berners-Lee in the 1980’s, and culminating in the final face-off betwen Google and Microsoft, the joining of forces between Google and Amazon (to create GoogleZon), and a landmark case heard by the supreme court that - as an eventuality - forces The New York Times to go off line and become solely a print-only media unit, once again, this video shows not only what could happen, but actually provides a very logical possbility of what will happen
    in the coming years, as media seeks to re-shape and re-define itsself, and companies like Google and Amazon spend more and more processing time exploring the social make-up and demographics of each individual user’s life and society.

    You can watch the ground-breaking video in its entirity at The Blog Herald.

Well, I thought I’d show you what my firefox tab bar looks like on any given day. Keep in mind that the following image has been compressed for size:

    Firefox tabs

    Note all of the tabs with the little orange P’s. Those are all seperate entries I have queued to read from Darren Rowse’s Problogger.net. All of the tabs with the little blue flower-like things? Those are entries from Performancing.com.

    Out of 24 tabs, 10 are from Problogger.net, and 7 are from Performancing.com. Now granted, this is a few more than usual, as I’m catching up on things I missed during my vacation; however, it’s not unusual to find me surfing either of those two websites during my blogging hours.

    Just thought I’d share a couple of great sites that often deliver inspiration to me.

Look to the lower left), but it’s related to two topics that are near and dear to this site: blogging, and making money.

    Bloggerjobs.biz is a blog that lists jobs for bloggers. Listing everything from a call for a World of Warcraft blogger, to networks looking for bloggers on random topics, Bloggerjobs.biz is probably one of the best centralized resources for those of us looking to make money from blogging without the hassle of running our own blog.

    They’re not only about blogging, though. They even list jobs for blogging empires such as Darren Rowse and Company’s b5 Media, and others. Some jobs are only vaguely blogging related. Check it out, see if you can find your next career.
