Thing 14

I did not watch either video because it took waaaay too long for them to download. So, instead I read the FAQ page, which was very informative. I felt that Technorati could be useful for those that are a bit more tech savvy than me. My initial reaction is that it offers way too much information and I found it very time consuming to find anything relevant. I did several key word searches and the information that came back was a bit disappointing. However, it could be I did not input the information correctly in the search box. For the author I was searching I put quotation marks around her first and last name. In the first 5 results that popped up, only 2 were about the author. So, maybe quotation marks shouldn't be used here! For those that have the time, this site would be very useful since it indexes live web and blogs as well as sends pings if you add that feature. I chose not to claim a blog at this moment. I do not feel at this time that this site would be useful to me. However, I will save the address and in the future this may be one of those sites I can't live without!
