I search for “School Library Learning 2.0” in
Technorati and was not happy with the results. I don’t find their search as effective as some other searches and search-engines. I never found the “School Library Learning 2.0” blog by doing a basic search on
Technorati. But I did register my blog on
Technorati and become a member. I found out that I had an authority of 4 meaning that 4 different blogs have linked back to my blog in the last few months. I was pretty impressed that link-backs are what give you an authority rating and if the
Technorati site can be believed I should see more hits on my blog simply because I registered it. We will see. I was also amazed that I could not find
Joyce Valenza’s blog using the basic search on
Technorati. I have to explore their advanced search more. So far I am not impressed but I was able to find the “School Library Learning 2.0” blog when I did a search using Technorati’s “exact phrase” button. For me I think this is the way to go. I tend to remember the names of my friend’s blogs or basically remember the names. It may be better to me to search for the exact phrase most of the time.
To try to find some links for the Inauguration I did a search on the word and found a satire blog site. I will keep looking for some sites to use with my students.
I have written about Internet tags several times on
this blog and my opinion has not changed much. I guess my basic dislike of tags is my own fault, I am not a very organized person as a rule and I tend to forget how I tagged things before. In previous posts on my blog or on sessions on del.icio.us I may tend to use one tag and then the next time I use something different. I am starting to wonder if it would help me to start tagging things by Dewey Decimal Number rather than by words that I will forget the next time.
