*Stands up* Hi, I’m Sarah and I have a tab problem. My computer is slowly becoming laggier and laggier because I can’t help but have 20-30 tabs open in my Firefox browser. It’s like being a virtual packrat. “No! Don’t close that tab! I want to read that sometime.” If I bookmark it in del.icio.us I can sort of close it but I know that I’ll probably never get back to it to read it. At least I’ll be able to find it again but that’s not quite enough. So here I sit with a browser sucking down over 400k of my processing because of all the links I have open. So instead of just bookmarking them I’m going to blog the links. This way I’ll get back to read them, right?

Maybe there’s a Betty Ford clinic for chronic browser openers. *sigh*

• 5 Money Making Opportunities on Facebook : I don’t want to make money there but I have clients who do
• LinkedIn Resume and Class note sharing apps on Facebook
• 50+ Tools for WordPress Admin: I’ll read anything that will stop some of these lame spam messages I constantly get on WordPress even though I have two spam filters installed on all of them
• CoComment: Track who is making comments, where you’re commenting, and what is getting the most.
• Get Productive with Facebook Apps
• Take Charge of your Firefox Tabs
• Avoiding Isolation when working at home: oh if only I had this problem *minimizes Twitter, email, Jaiku, Second Life….*
• Sharkrunners: Real Time Data Used for a Game
• Strategies for Applying Web Analytics to Social Media
• CBS toAir World Video Game Playoffs: I watched. It was about as boring as watching paint dry on your granny’s living room wall while she reminisces about the good old days and her cats fight over dustbunnies. It may have been boring but I’m still awfully proud of my gamer kin and their Mountain Dew swigging, Dorrito munching TV appearances. Guitar Hero was sort of fun to watch.
• Anti-Social Contracts: Josh Fairfield (who I lovingly get to call HawtLaw….long story) wrote a great piece about why the SL TOS is antisocial. Go Josh!
• Virtual Worlds conferences list: Thanks, Ren!
• How Many Degrees of Separation are there now?: This is something I’ve been thinking about for a while. Applying Gladwell’s idea of Mavens and Connectors helps make sense of how we know each other online but things happen so fast that we almost need a better model. Still cooking this one.
• Indexed: add it to your reader. Nuff said
• What is language?: a great little graphic from XPlane
• Chris Anderson “Why I gave up on Second Life”
• IBM’s Guidelines for Employees in Virtual Worlds

Phew! Now I can actually restart my browser and get some memory back. If only I could restart my head.
