I honestly believe I could have looked around forever in Technorati, and yes, I know that forever is a long time. While the first Discovery Exercise was time-consuming, I learned so much about how to navigate around in Technorati. In searching for "School Library Learning 2.0" in Blog posts, tags and the Blog Directory, I discovered that the number of posts or results varied substantially, even though I saw a number of the same Blog posts in all three searches. As a fan of People magazine, I must say I enjoyed looking through the popular blogs. I read lots of interesting tidbits, but I cannot say that anything in particular surprised me.
As a librarian, I'm both comfortable with, and fascinated by, tagging. I consider tags to be the "way" we will all search for information in the future. Adding tags to your blog makes the blogger more aware of the content and the coverage within a post. It is challenging to create relevant tags for a piece. I will be interested to read about what fellow bloggers perceive to be the disadvantages of tags, as I'm still seeing advantages.
