Week 6 #14

Searching Technorati, and looking at the differences between blog posts, tags, and blog directory listings. You get the most with tags, which makes sense since multiple tags can be assigned to a blog post. Blog Directories seem to have more authority than blog posts. I will have to do more exploration to see if my supposition is correct. Tagging can be great to locate what people are saying about a subject. However, you can retrieve too much, incorrect spelling can miss some relevant blogs. But it is a good way to get a quick sense of popularity, what people think, etc.
