I love Technorati and finding out who is linking to my site. Along with the good stuff, which I'll get to in a minute, I find that unfortunately there are lots of clueless people out there who thinks its ok to pull my full or partial feed without attribution, or at best sticking a link in a sidebar with lots of other sites. Then they wrap the feed with Adwords and make money off of it. I enjoy the freedom of RSS but when other people profit off my hard work, that just sucks, worse than spam in my book.

Now for the good. I found out from the Plaxo blog that they saw my post about keeping up with employment trends with Plaxo. That led me back to their blog where I found out that Plaxo works on Macs now.

I've always been leery of stuffing my rolodex online but now after using gmail for almost two years and having a blog for over 3 years I'm used to the feelings of exposure. Hopefully this will enable me to manage my business as well as personal contacts better.
