So Technorati is a search engine specifically for searching blogs. It was made to help follow conversations and so you could see who was linking to you. I guess unless one comments, you don't know who your audience is and how to keep them coming back for more.
If you use tags, these are really for yourself. While reading multiple blogs, you are being bombarded with information, so tagging helps you organize. They need to make sense to you, so that you can remember what you read in those blogs. Also, if we are using similiar tags as others, we probably share other ideas in common.
When I went to Technorati and put in School Library Learning 2.0 I got 292 results. When I separated it out for blog posts, I got 250, for tags no results and again blog directory 292 results.
The most popular blog was Boing, Boing.
The most popular searches were taskbar, news
The most popular tags were top 100 A-Z such as apple, art, blogging, romance, video and web
An advertisement for Verizon popped up and there was no close button. It did not go off by itself and would not move! I had to go out of the site and back in to get it off...frustrating!
I looked at the gadgets but did not put one on my blog...remember my problems with Rollyo. I think some blogs can have too much on them. Hee hee, so I am going with that!
On blogs, I do like when pictures are aded and videos are posted. Boing Boing was a good one to keep your attention!
I know Technorati is supposed to be an easier way to find stuff, but I was very surprised that Education was not one of their main categories. I will have to continue to play with it and use it to see its effectiveness!
