Week 6, # 14

I’ve heard about Technorati for a while now, but never got a chance to really look into it. I always thought it was just a tag or standard when I saw it on other blogs, but now I know a little more about it. I did the search for “library 2.0″ . People are gravitating towards more instant results, and many of these tools fit that “need.” Being able to search tags through Technorati is convenient, as you can search the web for blogs and other sites that have tags or metadata, as opposed to having to go each site and searching for keywords within the text. Now we’re searching for tags that people have attached to the blogs or sites for a reason, as they deem the blog to be about that particular subject. Searching for blogs by tag is also helpful for finding similar blogs or blog entries for one’s needs.
