Thing #14: Technorati and How Tags Work

I watched the two videos regarding Technorati and learned about its capacity to search blogs according to various criteria. When I conducted a blogoshere search for School Library Learning, I received 2476 results. Using the tag method narrowed my choices to 176. I clicked on the popular tags link and I received the top 100 tags. When I clicked on the tag, "blogging", I received 150,267 posts! Depending on whether I want a narrow or broad search, I could change my method. Since I really don't have time to read through numerous blogs, I prefer to narrow the search (negative-sometimes I may not get a great blog because it was tagged a different way).
