#14 Technorati

Technorati - another internet search engine for searching blogs - different to but similar to say Google or Yahoo.
1. Amazing the difference adding " ". I didn't add "" to Learning 2.o and came up with 26,757 posts for learning 2.0 and 686 blogs for it - wow I thought - very broad -then it dawned on me to add the " "- this changed my results to 2,748 posts and 303 blogs - still lots but a more focused result. I was excited when I found other libraries blogs for example one from Wyndam on Image generators.
The results for a post was greater than a blogs you can see from the result figures quoted above. The look was different with Blogs having fans and fave and authority added. The blog seemed better. The tags given allow a match in a search when that term has been keyed in - seems a good way to link blogs with similar content.

2. Popular blog searches and tags - not stuff that I would consider 'popular'. For example I'm not much interested in Paris Hilton or Eva Longora porn, or in Making homemade porn. the Top Favorited Blogs and Top Blogs were similar in their results - ie. Boing Boing , Techcrunch and Engadget were tops in both.

I found You Tube interesting and the spoof - Love Song to Mahmoud- "Iran so far" was interesting.

Of course Ms Spears was a popular blog - probably because of the child custody breaking news-
Troubled lady
