I Googled "toolswiki" as a way to find this website (the URL includes "toolswiki.ouvaton.org"). There are several varieties. "ToolsWiki" in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_case CamelCase] belongs to a [http://www-theory.lbl.gov physics site], although the wiki itself seems broken. The page called [http://www-theory.lbl.gov/toolswiki/index.php?title=Monte_Carlo_Generators Monte Carlo Generators] on that site is a long list of links to porn sites. This seems to be [[WikiSpam]]. My site is "toolswiki" all in small letters. For "toolswiki" the Google list includes a pointer to the main page of [http://communitywiki.org CommunityWiki]. Not because "toolswiki" is listed anywhere on the CommunityWiki page (it isn't), but because Raindog's Blog '''points to''' CommunityWiki. Just how does Google work anyway?

''' 23 September - MeatballWiki and Sunir Shah on Wikipedia'''
  
 
On Wikipedia I transformed the MeatballWiki article from a stub to a regular article, and created a new article on Sunir Shah. Since Sunir should have had an article long ago, I surmised internal Wikipedian resistance to this article, and expected a reaction. There was none. Apparently all the peevish Wikipedians have lost interest in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/MeatballWiki MeatballWiki conflict] and gone on to something else.

Thinking about useful links to be found on other peoples' blogs, I went to Google and typed "best blogs." The most interesting thing I found was technorati (which I had of course heard of, but never intentionally visited), which gives a list of the most popular blogs:

I should try to keep track systematically of sites and blogs. Here's another one: http://blog.guykawasaki.com. (I have started a separate list of blogs at [[User:RainDog/Blog List]].)
