I don’t like rehashing. Most of the time I wait until I had something to add to a topic before I jump in, whether it be a new technique or some research results or maybe just a point of view, which may be closer to an attitude. I’ll leave that to you to define.

But I also want people who happen upon my blog to get a complete picture of what I am trying to present. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I think it can only help down the road to know enough about SEO, css, WordPress, and everything else it takes to make money like I do. Plus, if you are starting on a shoestring, you can’t hire anyone. So you can either do it yourself or use "some day". "Some day" never works. And even as I start outsourcing some of the duties, I will know exactly what I want and how I want it done because I could do it myself if I had to. Talking to a developer or designer is about the same as talking to your auto mechanic when you know nothing about cars.

About 90% of what I’ve learned, I’ve learned right here. So I like throwing out links. I think it makes my blog well rounded with some subjects better covered by experts. But throwing a bunch of amorphous links into a delicious account that posts to this blog limits things a little. I literally could bookmark 30 or so pages a day on 10 different topics. I know this seems like a waste of time, but I know where I am going in the future. When I can knock out some of the research before I get to it and have it waiting for me, it helps. One post like that and it could look like superspam, so I don’t bookmark that much any more.

Another option is what you see on my Cre8buzz page. I could put up a OPML widget of all the feeds I subscribe to. Worthless. Not everyone is that much of an information junkie. Wading through those feeds will just stop most people in their tracks. And I haven’t found a filter system that has an element of randomness. Too many filters and you get tunnel vision.

But for a while, I have been thinking about a reblog. This brings up images of scraper sites and MFA sites. But some don’t get the label. So where is the line.

The software I was thinking of using is located here which lists a few more reblog sites. This I would put on a site of it’s own, like Bloglot, which is just hanging out now collecting spam.

Meme trackers do this with an algorithm but I see that akin to following Fortune picks to trade stocks instead of doing your own research. The most popular is not necessarily the most valuable.

Another option I might look into is here.

Tumblr was an option because I can feed it my delicious links one at a time, but there are no categories.

My utopian idea of what I am trying to come up with is that my posts and my projects can run parallel to my research and footnotes for them (i.e. bookmarks and comments on them) so that I can create a more complete whole. That way those who want to can go further.

And this is how I get moving. I see the picture of what I want, then I start looking for tools. If I don’t find the perfect tools, I see what I can start with and jump into the php.

In an effort to provide a complete overview, there are other options for information aggregation that I found while I was writing this and I will be exploring some unique WordPress installations.

So if anybody has an idea, let me know.

It seems that Creabuzz has been nominated for the Mashable Open Web Awards and they are in second place for the best Niche and Miscellaneous Social Networks. And this is a post to get some of you to vote for them. And if you haven’t tried cre8buzz out yet, just comment on this post and I will shoot you an invite.

Cre8buzz is a pretty simple site. You can add pictures, videos, blog posts, and in the site showcase, links and screenshots of your sites. They have forums and a pretty complex rating system. You can rate each and every thing on another Buzzer’s page. The feature I liked was the ability to customize the CSS. But that may be a feature available elsewhere. I don’t get out that much.

It seems like that they were off the list for a while because Cre8buzz was accused of gaming the system. But they are back. Mashable learned to notice the difference between dedicated users and gaming the system. So this is my plug for the site. I hope they get it.
