Top 10 Sources: “Top 10 Sources is a directory of sites that bring you the freshest, most relevant content on the Web. We know it’s impossible for anyone to keep track of the 20 million online sources of information. So our editors search Web 2.0 — blogs, podcasts, wikis, news sites, and every kind of syndicated sources online — by hand. Our Top 10 lists are updated frequently as great new sources come online.”

What’s really interesting about this is that they publish the opml for every subject. So in a good aggregator, you should be able to just include that opml for a subject and let an expert manage that subsection of interest for you.

I mean, I’d really like us to spend some time intelligently designing a science curriculum, a national security policy, and some emergency response plans.

I’ve updated my remix of the great Book Burro GreaseMonkey script.
GreaseMonkey is this amazing plugin for firefox that lets you re-write webpages so that they work the way you want. If you aren’t so good with the javascript, you can browse UserScripts.org, a great website that helps you find userscripts that have been written.

BookBorough pops up if you are on most of the major bookselling websites. It has a tiny little bar – you click on the bar and it expands, grabbing prices from all of the other major booksellers and getting availability for that book in the new york libraries. If you are going to buy a book, you might as well get it for the lowest price. And if you’re willing to buy the book, maybe you should take a second to check it out from your local library instead!

If you are interested in writing your own scripts, check out Dive Into Greasemonkey, a totally free book about writing Greasemonkey scripts. amazon booksearch library
