Week 6, Thing # 14

Technorati has so much to explore. I felt as though this exercise just scratched the surface. I learned that it is a real-time search engine for blogs. Doing a blog search using certain key words returned thousands more sites than doing a similar search of tags. The tag search was so much more specific, returning only 13 blogs, versus 1,599 from the blog search. Searching tags can return more specific results, but the limits of tags include the fact that they are not standardized, and are therefore more fluid.

I also tried adding technorati tags to my blog.
