Thing #14 - Explore Technorati and learn how tags work with blog posts

Technorati leaves me cold. I didn't feel particularly inspired by this Thing, as I have with some others. Doing a search on Technorati seemed no less overwhelming and random than searches on the web itself. Like elsewhere, just a bunch of clutter and junk to prune through.

It seemed sort of redundant too, like it provided a lot of overlap with what del.icio.us provides. I created an account, just to see if that improved things (as I found with del.icio.us), but no. I felt that my bloglines account and my del.icio.us account provided much the same features, but were more fun, and easier to use.

It was somewhat interesting to see the differences between searching blogs and searching tags.
