We’ve developed something of a “try it and see what works” attitude toward our blogs, evident on the surface by several new blogs we’ve launched recently as well as some back-end tools that users can’t see but that make our lives easier.

What they mean in the abstract is that we’re trying to play a bit more seriously in the land of the “long tail.” What the icons actually do is provide you with a variety of ways to organize and share our blog entries.
Ignore them as so much Web 2.0 link begging if you want, but if you’d like to see what they’re all about, read on:
