Week 6 #14 Getting not so technical with Technorati

Technorati was interesting and built on my knowledge from the previous exercise. The search exercise for learning 2.0 produced no surprises for me. The blogs search came up with the greatest number of hits (6,319) but when used as a phrase "learning 2.0" the results showed entire post (518), and tags only (104). It shows the importance of knowing how and what to search, a skill that reference librarians but not all web users have.
I wasn't at all surprised to see the list under popular blog - everything I have become more familiar with since starting our on the web 2.0 training. Nice to see that Facebook is up for google challenges.

I often end up with too many results because I haven't specified my search! :)
