Technorati

On the whole, an interesting site. Looks quite easy to find general subjects – but you need time to browse a few sites before finding the thing you really want & not getting side tracked along the way (not keen on advertising trying to grab my eye all the time – puts me off). As with most searching, it seems you need the quotation marks to identify words in a string but using ‘and’ between words seems to work too – best to look for straight-forwarded subjects, but would like to try something obscure just to test these tags/and groups of. Found 539 tags for Learning 2.0 ; 733 blog references and 2007 blog post references. Looks like the posts & tags seem to be listed in most recent, but not sure how the blogs are listed, maybe it’s deemed most relevant. Probably the tags would be the more specific application.
Found a blog ‘librarian for a day’ ; she is really on the technology role ; sounds like a blog I would like to revisit, just to see what is going on in her world.
If you search ‘inside a blog’ it will give you the different posts with that topic – pretty good really searchwise.
I’m finding a lot of librarians blogsites, it’s really encouraging.
What I’ve realised is that people really group together – weirdo techno fans, celebrity gossip fans, science gadget fans, etc Seems to me that those that blog out there, do so in order to find others like themselves – belonging together in a global cluster – and there’s nothing wrong with that.
However, I think you would also have to be careful as well – very easy to post your ideas forgetting the consequences on a worldwide scale.
Lists Top Movies (incl latest Harry Potter); Top News; Top Videos – this shows you exactly what type of things interest people ; gosh if you are researching human behaviour – this is the place to go.
