Thing #14 Technorati

I found it fun to look around at the popular sites to see what is interesting people in general. Of course the results are biased towards those interested in the web and computers. Therefore a lot of the most popular blog sites were related to applications on blogs etc. I expected more of them to be directed at current events. Probably this varies depends on what is happening in the world.

Technirati is also useful for finding people with common interests, allowing one to set up collaborative conversations. Being able to assess the level of influence of a blog is an interesting feature as well.

I really like the tagging feature of the many tools. I hadn't been aware of it and see it as critical for organizing, saving and retreiving information.
