Technorati

I feel as if this web 2.0 assignment on Technorati is a tad bit repetitive, so this entry will be short and sweet. Because some of the features we needed to use for this assignment were no longer available on Technorati, I decided to focus on the Tag Index tool. I like that you can search the top tags for the current month, it's nice to get a feel for what is going on in this 'blogosphere'. Although I don't like the search option because there is no choice to filter the search. I got irritated when I entered 'horses' into the blog search bar, and instead of blogs about horses I got a bunch of blogs that mentioned horses or something horse related but not in the context that I was thinking of. Although I think Technorati is a good place to start when looking for blogs, it shouldn't be the only place you look, especially if you are searching for a very specific topic;
