More gadgetry

My iGoogle page has been changing constantly over the last few weeks, but here's a screen shot of the Delicious bookmark gadget. The green leafery is in honour of Spring, who seems to have deserted us. Even though I've not been that keen on Delicious, the small list is quite appealing, and I may even use it!

I've also added a Twitter gadget (not pictured), but it doesn't look very pretty, and isn't at all customisable. Isn't it odd that even though all these applications do things we'd never have dreamed of 15 year ago, we still expect them to look good and have colours etc that we can choose ourselves? Spoilt, perhaps.

Truth be told, I've not been that keen on iGoogle, and have been leaning more and more towards Google Reader, which seems to do more of what I need everyday.

The Editor's Picks weren't particularly fascinating, and mostly seemed to be the sort of things that people might use on a personal level, rather than for work. The only one that I was tempted by was Remember the milk, a task management application, but I already have a similar function on my phone.

The Librarian's Book Revoogle looks quite interesting, so I've added that. Now my iGoogle page is completely unrecognisable from the beginning of the 23 Things!

Returning to Flickr and Widgets

I had already added my Flickr photostream to my blog, so this Thing proved quicker than most. I did, however, rethink the gadgets on my blog, and rearranged them a little. At the outset of the 23 Things I disabled the followers gadget, as I was convinced that I didn't want to know who was reading my blog. Having become a little green-eyed about followers whilst browsing other Blogs, I've enabled the gadget (queue disappointment at not having any followers).

As for the further Things, I tried to add a Google search gadget, but the layout of the theme I've chosen for my blog meant that the Google box was cropped badly and some of the wording was missing, so I removed it again. Since the blog hasn't been going for long, it shouldn't really be necessary for people to search it using Google.

At this stage of the 23 Things, I'm wondering about the future of my blog. Should I morph it into another blog (possibly about my letterpress enterprise) or erase it from the Blogosphere completely? What does everyone else think about the future of their blogs?
