Technorati

Technorati sounds as if it would be a great thig if I was interested in being known, or at the very least read more, out in the blogosphere. Seeing as I'm not particularly interested in that happening, I'm pretty happy to mooch along and make these posts with signing up to Technorati. Besides, according to the information given to me by Jake and about.com, my blog has probably already been picked up by Technorati anyway.

I searched 'eLearning' in blog posts, and received 1532 blogs relating to eLearning - which seems like a fair few. I searched posts and only received one post relating to eLearning. I searched eLearning in the Blog Directory and received a grand total of no results. Zero. Nada. Zull.

Which is interesting I suppose.

 A lot of the popular blogs on Technorati's Top 100 are seem to be technology or news orientated, although some of the news ones seems to go over into Hollywood gossip stories. But it's nice to see that people are still talking about or accessing the news, it's just that instead of newspapers, they use blogs now.

Popular tags on technorati are the most popular used over the last month. It's fascinating to see the numbers on tag use because I would have thought the numbers would be higher due to the amount of blogs Technorati picks up. Facebook was tagged 32 times over the last month, Which seems very small when considering Technorati indexes 112.8 million blogs. It makes me wonder what everyone spends time blogging about, or if people just don't tag what they're talking about very often.

Well. It's been fun, but things to do and 23 things to try to steamroll through. : )
