Technorati Thing #14

Technorati is for the youth of today's society. Why? The most popular posts are on current music, movies and the marketing of commercially available products.

The most fun I had was on YouTube, checking out the blogs, videos and pictures, following my interests, and escaping off on tag tangents.

I found very few posts on "Learning 2.0" in blogs or in hosted sites under Technorati. However, I did come across the original organiser awarding a prize (a laptop) to a winner in the "Learning 23 Things" competition in October 2006 in USA. Once I used tags I managed to see a couple of individual comments in blogs.

Does this have a use in our special library situation? I think not. It may have more application in public libraries.

I had most fun with YouTube - blogs, videos, photos (went to Flickr!). There were very few hits on "Learning 2.o" in blog posts or hosted favourite sites, but I did find out there had been a competition in USA, a laptop prize had been awarded in Oct 2006.
Better results for my exploration came from searching on tags - "technology innovation information" and this led to some individual comments.
Is this useful for our special library work? I think not. Perhaps it has a role for public libraries.
