** There are so many devices, tools, and techniques to tantalise us, and challenge our modes of reading and information organisation. What will you change today, tomorrow, next week? Are you keeping up with every(E)thing?
 * Keeping up with every(E)thing

Judy blogs at HeyJude where she generously shares her knowledge and ideas. She has included there a report on this conference, with special reference to Sherman Young. And she has included her own presentation slides from the day (which are also below).

As the title suggests, a big problem for us is keeping up with the enormous amount of information at our disposal. Judy, like Will Richardson, counsels us to sift and sort, to filter and feed; to find the tools we get value from in keeping the world out their accessible AND manageable.

At a wiki called Tools For Search you can see many search engines and strategies, including videos and presentations.

Influential Web2.0 proponent, Howard Rheingold's crap detection bookmarks many sites where you can find ways to help navigate the fact and fiction of the web. For instance, one listed item is an article explaining Dispute Finder. This is a newly developed piece of software in the form of a Firefox browser extension. Once you have installed the extension you can use it to enter a phrase you think might be disputed and it will find examples of the discussion of this topic on the web.
