Week 6, Thing # 14: Technorati




The searches using the keyword search functionality (I used "exact phrase" option) indeed returned different results. Using the blog posts search, I got many hits with the search term in either the title or body. The blog directory search brought up blogs with related tags for Library 2.0. The results tended to be more on target for blogs about Library 2.0. The tag search brings up posts with this tag associated to it. The blog directory search seemed the most direct and brought the better results.

The Top Favorite Blog and associated top searches and top blogs was interesting but not really surprising. It is a mirror of popular culture, which makes sense. I think that it mirrors the way people are using the web: for entertainment, news, social networking, and technology news.

I am going to try and tag my post in another email.
