Week 6 Thing 14 Technorati & learn how tags

Using Del.icio.us showed how useful tagging is for finding relevant sites. I was able to find entries from my own blog on Technorati. When you tag you may be using multiple terms to mean the same thing - no controlled vocabulary.

I checked out the popular blog, searches and tags at Technorati. The most popular blog at the time was "Boin Boing." Looking at it, I couldn't figure out why it was so popular. Maybe I missed something.

Week 4 Thing 9 -- In Search of Blogs

I searched for blogs related to CSLA 2.0 in Blogpulse and Google Blog Search. I found relevant results in both sources. I found blogs by other participants and by people who were commenting on the program. I checked both types of blogs and enjoyed reading those by participants who were further along in the process than I.
I took the Technorati blog finder tutorial and learned how to add a blog.
I really liked searching for local news on Topix net. I'll be stopping by there again. I've been reading mostly national and international newsfeeds so it's great to be updated on the local level also.
