Week 6: # 14 Technorati

Defining Technorati as the "google" of blogs was very helpful. With that understanding, I was able to grasp the concept much easier. The favorites, top searches and top blogs are very predictable. They seem to be what's most interesting to society today. I would expect these to change as interests and concerns of people change.

Also predictable was the difference in hits when searching "Learning 2.0" using posts, tags and directories. It is similar to our title, author or subject search; each has the potential of retrieving a different number of hits.

I do not forsee myself, at this time, using Technorati very often but am glad I know about it. In the future, it might be helpful.
