There has been a lot of interesting stuff happening around the blogosphere lately. Here are a few that I thought my readers might enjoy:

  • Mashable offers an A-Z guide of 50+ Tools for the WordPress Admin. This is an addition to their WordPress plugin series, which has previously done AJAX, Multimedia, and Comments. I like following this series, as I’ve already caught a few useful plugins that I didn’t know existed.
  • Gyaan Sutra explains How to Customize Thunderbird on Linux. This includes some nice config hacks for you Linux users.
  • Liz Strauss of Successful Blog gives us 40 Outstanding Blog Links. Included is a big list of blogs everyone should track in their feed readers about blogging, writing, making money, and web analytics. I was glad to see that I subscribe to many of these already, but found a few to start tracking.
  • Web Worker Daily provides 12 Ways to Use Facebook Professionally. This article focuses on web workers, and in particular those that work from home. After reading this, it seems pretty useful for anyone with a Facebook page. In the interest of networking a bit, if you have a Facebook page, you can add me as a friend.
  • CyberNet talks a bit about the Maxathon 2 browser and the influence it is having in Asia. The fact that they are nearing 100 million downloads is amazing for not only being an almost unknown browser, but also a browser based on Internet Explorer. Ryan provides an extensive review of what Maxathon 2.0 offers.
  • Nirmal offers his Top 10 Feed Readers. This list is surprisingly weighted towards web-based readers with my choice of feed readers (GreatNews) not even making the list, despite being the most popular desktop feed reader.
  • Mark of MeAndMyDrum gives 2 reasons why he declines your LinkedIn invitation. I found this interesting because I wasn’t aware people still used LinkedIn. Like many other LinkedIn users have found, Facebook does a great job of providing similar services.
  • Siteguide provides 5 ways to track comments. I used CoComment for awhile, but now I’ve found that if I want to follow up on a comment, usually the site offers a subscription service to that post for follow-up comments.
