#14 Technorati

It's Friday once again, and nicely quiet (in patches) - gotta love school holidays!!!! :-)

After a week, I'm finally up to part 2 of week 6. Technorati.

Well, as per the rest of the Internet, it's certainly shows (via the popular tab) how many people want to get rich quick and how many people like to know about the rich and/or shameless. I didn't get anything out of viewing the popular list, except I was suprised that there were so many "get rich quick" or "make money" blogs in this list.

I did see the tags to go link to more posts, but decided time was slipping away. [In the popular bit, I don't know that the tags would be all that informative, but then I didn't spend much time there].

So, technorati could be useful to navigate the minefield of blogs and find some sites if you're looking for uptodate info on a particular topic or latest opinions etc. And there are certainly no filters, so all sides of any issue get a voice.

Bye.
