Thing #14 Explore Technorati and Tags

Where did the time go? I just exited Technorati’s blogosphere and my head is spinning. Today there were over a million blogs in Technorati’s directory, and, no, I didn’t view all of them. I like the many different ways one can search---by blog, by posts, or by tags. My first try at finding School Library Learning 2.0 came up with zilch! When I refined my search from High authority to Any authority, I found eleven blogs. On The Finding Dulcinea Blog I discovered Sweet Search for Librarians. (You should check it out!) Another blog for librarians—Rhonda’s Reflections—posts useful sites for librarians on a weekly basis; so this looks like a future favorite.

I did try to find School Library Learning 2.0 with tags, but the tags in Technorati didn’t have the tags “school” or even “library.” Even though there were not any tags for what I was looking for, tags are very useful and I like the fact that tagging is “people-powered,” not driven by businesses.

Technorati had no widgets available, and the popular section only had videos, so it is still a work in progress—just like this blog!
