We are already a couple weeks into 2008! It looks like most of the review posts are finally over and things are starting to return to normal. Here is this weeks installment of technology talk:

Crestock has posted their 50 most popular web design, blog posts, and cheat sheets of 2007. If you do any web design, this is a useful post to read through.
Karthik of Shankri-La has posted his top Greasemonkey scripts for Gmail 2.0. This is probably the most complete list I’ve seen yet.
Advertise Space has posted 7 reasons you should be advertising on blogs. It is generally a good practice once your blog has started generating some income to set aside a portion of it to apply towards advertising and continuing to grow your blog.
Josh Spaulding has posted 6 underutilized ways to increase search engine rankings. I always love to read others opinions in this area and Josh does a great job in this post of focusing on internal link structure and other areas where you can improve your blog.
I ran across this list of funny Windows error messages. Some are so crazy that it is hard to believe they aren’t photoshoped (or maybe they are!).
2Spare.com has posted the 10 Creepiest Old Advertisements. Creepy is a good word because it is just hard to believe that advertisements used to look like this.
Garry Conn offers his thoughts on having a Robots.txt. It took me awhile to get the hang of them, but I’ve enjoyed a lot of success with a Robots.txt file and recommend everyone have one.
