I've added a new feature to Olbermann Watch. Something called a "Del.icio.us Feedroll". If you look down, along the right-hand column, below "recent comments" you will see a "mini-blog". I create this by "bookmarking" the page using a new web-based service called "Del.icio.us" and then making a javascript "feedroll". Bottom line is that as I run across OlbyWatch relevant links I can quickly add them here rather than store them in my "KO Notebook" (really just a text file on my desktop) and then add them when the urge strikes. In other words, it will be easier for me to share the links with readers and they will be more timely.

UPDATE: For those who use RSS (and you ALL should be using RSS) to read this site, I am attempting to splice in the Del.icio.us RSS Feed from Feedburner into the Olbermann Watch feed from Feedburner. It is sorta working but the feed seems to want to include posts from my other site which is not KO related. Just ignore those posts for now until I get it sorted out. BTW, I also enabled some newer features from Feedburner including an "email this" link to each post, an "add to del.icio.us" link to each post and links indicating if there are any comments for the post and if there are any technorati links to the post (you will only see those if there ARE, in fact, links).

For those who are interested I will explain further below, otherwise just start

Del.icio.us is something called a "social bookmarking" service. At it's most simple level deli.icio.us is simple web-based bookmarks. Instead of bookmarks in your browser they reside on the web and can be access from any computer connected to the web. Things get interesting when you begin to add "tags" to each entry because then they become "sortable". They call it "social bookmarking" because the tags not only function within your own account but, if you make them "public", they can be seen by other del.icio.us users. What that means is that you might tag a page then notice that some people have also tagged two other related pages so you visit them and get additional insight into whatever topic.

If you are interested to contibute links to this feed drop me a line. I'm not sure how to do it (yet) but I think I can set up a "network feed" where OlbyWatch readers could add links that are relevant to Olbermann Watch (KO News, blog posts about KO, any KO video being put up at Expose The Left, Crooks and Liars, YouTube or elsewhere, etc.)

There are many other aspects to it.

One of the more interesting (to me) is that you can create a “feedroll� sorted by the "tags" or "keywords to produce blogrolls or, in this case, a "mini-blog".

A note on "Olbermann" tags.

For a while now I have been tagging posts to this site as "Keith Olbermann" only recently realizing that the space meant that the tag would not work with many services that use tags (Technorati, Flickr, etc.). Therefore, as of today I am tagging all entries with just "Olbermann". There is no need to change the old posts because the services that use tagging will just see two tags: "Keith" and "Olbermann".

If anyone were interested, I could create a link to ALL blog posts, flickr or del.icio.us posts (or others) that use "Olbermann" as a tag. For you bloggers that write about KO from time to time (pro or con), I might also be able to add a feed from your blog so that all of your KO-related posts show up here. I'll need to research how to do that.

If you have questions on any of this, email me.
