Week 6 Discovery Exercise #14 Technorati

My search for "Learning 2.0" had these results: in Blog posts, 5,771 for all the words, 393 for exact phrase, 217,197 for at least one of the words, and 466 for the Tag search. It certainly pays to refine your search terms. In the Blog Directory I looked up "technology" and "web 2.0" which produced a large number of posts. I liked the thumbnails of the individual blogs. In popular searches I was at first suprised that the number one search was "taskbar," but I guess people who are using these tools are interested in the technical aspects. Technorati is an important tool: considering the large number of blogs, there's definitely a need for access to them by subject.
