More so than any other time in our history, the new developments in technology seem to be happening overnight. In order to stay in the playing field, regardless of what industry you are in, you are going to need continual training in software, social networking and even just the defining of language that goes along with all of these new practices.
Technorati is another site that takes some of the grunt work out of finding what we might be looking for. This site serves to link all personal or professional blogs that may contain information or opinions about specific subjects. What's rather amazing is how instantaneously everything becomes available. The site will let you know that something was published as recently as minutes ago. This allows you to find the most up to date changes on a site you may regularly follow.
I think that this will have a huge effect on this year's election, and all elections to come. There is a new trend to get information about the candidates offline, and when searching, these blogs will often come up. Although the information may not be as factual as what people have been exposed to previously through the media, the influence it can have on a person's vote is just as powerful. As it gets closer to election time, I might find myself reviewing these sites a bit more closely.
