Week 6 #15 - Technorati

I have had a look around technorati, however I chose not to claim my blog. The main differences I noticed searching for "learning 2.0" (I did enclose learning 2.0 with "" to narrow the search) was that searching in posts, you could vary the search choosing the entire text of the post or tags only, vary the authority and the language for you search terms. I searched selecting tags only, a lot of authority and English only. How Technorati detemines levels of authority I'm not sure but it did limit the number of blogs in the search, I did see posts from a fellow Manukau library blogger in the a lot of authority search!

Searching for "learning 2.0" in blogs brings up a list of results that are blogs about "learning 2.0" so the blogs do not have to have the tag "learning 2.0" or the posts contain the text "learning 2.0". The name of the blog or the description of the blog needs to have the words "learning 2.0" is my understanding of it but I may be way off track. Manukau libraries Learning 2.0 blog appears on page 5 of the search results and no one has marked it a favourite, I did try but you need to register to join Technorati and I chose to remain aloof and anonymous.
