1. Take a look at Technorati and try doing a keyword search for “Learning 2.0” in Blog posts, in tags and in the Blog Directory. Are the results different? Yes, it seems searching the blog directory is more useful if you really want focused results. Tags and blog posts produce more random results much like any keyword search.
2. Explore popular blog, searches and tags. Is anything interesting or surprising in your results? Not too surprising the usual celeb people and the latest in pop culture.
3. Create a blog post about your discoveries on this site. Nice search site to get a taste of what people are blogging about (what's hot, the latest funny youtube video etc.) For me, I probably won't be using Technorati too much in work/personal life.
4. Now that we’ve worked with tags in Flickr, Del.icio.us, and Technorati, what are your thoughts about tagging? What are its advantages? What are its disadvantages?
Tagging is very subjective, which is good for posting freedom and creativity, however not so useful when you actually need to find something using tags. Alot of sorting through junk.
