Sea 2.0
Well, I'm back from my minitrip to the beach - two weeks without internet, tv, or hurricans are a highly recommended experience. Italy is just a blessed country.
Time to catch up a little bit...
Technorati introduced Blog Finder, which lets you search for blogs for a given tag. Technorati seems to be working on an automated classification, but blog authors also can claim their blogs for up to 20 tags.
This could become a pretty effective antidote against the lameness of top 100 (or 500) lists, since it filters the blogs by subject/concept/tag and creates a better visibility for micro-blogospheres covering various niches.
(btw: Technorati seems to be ignoring this blog, the last entry was picked up about 3 months ago. If anyone was experiencing similar problems and found a solution, please let me know.)

Amazon introduced concordance - a kind of tag cloud listing the 100 most frequently occurring words in a book, e.g. for Getting Things Done:
action actually anything best calendar call categories chapter come computer control create day decision done down even everything feel file first focus folders get getting go going good happen ideas information items keep key kind know least let level life list lot material may meeting might mind model must need new next notes now office often organization organizing outcome own paper part people personal phone physical planning practicing probably process processing productivity projects put really reference reminders required review right see should something steps still stuff system take things think thinking three time tools two use want work world yourself
To get the concordance for any book (and some other text statistics like the Fog Index or the Flesch-Kincaid Index) just browse the detailed view, locate the section labeled Inside This Book, and click Concordance.

Or if you want to tag (and catalog) your books yourself, check out LibraryThing from Tim Spalding.
And Nils Windisch's flickrTagFight takes the usefulness of tags to a new level.
