Here’s a neat little trick. If you look, you’ll notice a set of four icons at the bottom of each of my posts now.
They look like this: 
And they, respectively: look up the post on Technorati, add the post to your del.icio.us bookmarks, submit the post to Digg or submit the post to Slashdot.
It’s a nerd thing, and I think it’s cool. If you use any of the last three services you now have a one-click way to submit the post to each, if you should find it interesting. The Technorati link really only does something if someone else who gets indexed by Technorati links to the post. Then you can look up and see what other people are saying about what I just said. Which sounds awfully narcissistic, but that’s the blogosphere for you.
There’s a really neat tutorial on how to accomplish this on your own blog right here. Works for Blogware, Blogger, Moveable Type, and WordPress powered blogs. I’ve modified mine a bit from the tutorial so that you only see the icons. It’s not exactly the best from a user accessibility stand point, but I think it looks cooler that way.
