Week 6, thing 14: Technorati

Technorati was ok. I tried looking up Learning 2.0 under blog posts and found various discussions about E-learning and web technology. I picked one blog that looked interesting but it was mostly written in a foreign language. Other sites seemed to be bogged (not blogged) down in technical language that made them a chore to read. I had trouble looking up Learning 2.0 under tags, not quite sure where to find that on the Technorati site. As for top favorited blog, looks like "Boing Boing" is the most popular. In fact it even won the lifetime achievment award at the 2006 Bloggies ceremony! Top searches brought up something called "noelia" which seemed to be mostly about x-rated topics (no surprise there), Youtube, plus sites that are alleged to reveal all the latest and greatest celebrity gossip (yawn). Top blogs included"Engadget" with blogs about some of the most up to date technology, "Boing Boing"(again) which is a directory of wonderful things, plus Gizmodo, another blog relating to technology. In summary, it seems people are most interested in the latest, up to the minute technology, all the latest celebrity stories, and sex (is that too blunt?)
