Apparently there’s a concentration of “Dummies” book authors in one place. I know one person who’s written a Dummies book. She said it was very very tough.

There are plenty of places that provide you of aggregated lists of what’s being popularly-searched out there on the Internet. SearchQuilt, at http://searchquilt.com/, goes one better by listing what’s being searched for and then gives you a nice one-page meta-search for them.

The front page lists popular searches from places like Yahoo, Google, and AOL. (There’s also a year-end hot searches column.) Every listed search is hyperlinked. Click on an item and you’ll get a full page of search results from various places, including blogs, auctions, products, news, and the Web, of course. I was surprised at how well this worked with even more generic searches (like “Hairspray”.)

Sometimes one of the items on the big search result page would take a little extra time to load, but this is a fun site — plain but extensive. How about adding Icerocket top searches?

Wondering what people are passing around at Google Reader? ReadBurner, at http://www.readburner.com/, is here to help. The site monitors “several hundred” linkblogs (there’s a link to show them, but it gave me a 404 error) and filters for the ones that are shared by multiple people on Google Reader.

You can review currently-popular items, look at “upcoming” items (ones that are getting hot, I guess), things that are popular this week, and things that are popular over all time. (RSS feeds are available for everything. Happy sigh.) You can get lists in several different languages, in several different levels of detail (from nothing but a headline and a link to getting the complete item within the list (very cool.) Even just the basic text and summary shows a lot of details.

The items listed here tend to be very tech-heavy, but I got no problem with that. If you’re less interested in the items themselves and more in the people behind them, you can check out the top linkbloggers, sources, and authors. (Cory Doctorow, what a surprise! :->) Clicking on a name gives you a list of what they’ve linked/generated/contributed.

From What’s on the blog, it looks like this service is fairly new, but I like this. Absolutely chunking a few of these in my feed reader. Check it out!
