Just be shear, dumb, web clicking serendipity, I came across flickrStorm:
FlickrStorm is a better search for Flickr!
It works by looking for more than what you enter to find related and more relevant images… Be suprised!

Okay, there are scads of flickr search tools, and it’s not exactly clear what this “magic is”, but they certainly have [...]

It’s time to wax again on the sheer giddy glory of stumbling onto web gems by the serendipity of curious link clicking.
It started in my RSS feeds, scanning an entry on Net Neutrality Comes Home to Haddam in Mike Roy’s new blog, Digital Incunabula. I actually didn’t even [...]

By sheer acts of curious link following, I ended up today learning about Warnock’s Dilemma via Classy’s Kitchen:
Warnock’s Dilemma is the situation you face when people don’t comment on your postings:
The problem with no response is that there are five possible interpretations:
1. The post is correct, well-written information that needs no follow-up commentary. There’s nothing [...]

My mind is a leaky sieve. Last year, there was a neat web contest for people to submit an example of a digital story down i video format– with the limit that they had to be under 60 seconds– this was the 60 Second Story site.
I was more curious about how it worked, and usually [...]

Just when you think you have exhausted all the oddly strange things people have cooked up in a blog, comes along just one more. One Red Paper Clip is documenting the North American (?) Dream:

Wow, and some people think I have an edgy tone in this here blog, especially towards the sacred cow of reusable learning objects, which frankly after several years of looking at, thinking at, I just still do not buy. Yes, RLOs are R.I.P and I have questions lke If All The Learning Objects Are Web [...]

The least thought-out posts gain the most comment? As a follow-up to Me 2.0 someone kindly sent a serendipitous Bloglines pairing of my post and something else that is sort of related (might need the full-size to appreciate):

Let’s give a big “good on ya, ‘mate!” for the Australia’s ABC Radio National site for offering a ton of their audio in mp3 / podcast format. You can poke around the site and find them, or see the listng of the podcast URLs I googled to I Love Radio.org.
This discovery was totally web serendipity… [...]

Via a recent blog comment I was led by link curiosity to Leigh Blackall’s Teach and Learn Online blog which comes to us from the Blue Mountains of Australia (hence the blue template theme??). From his site, I found a nifty free wiki space called… WikiSpaces where amoung other things like blended learning wikis I [...]
