Thing 14: Technorati

I just can't get into Technorati. I think it is just so broad and all-encompassing that I don't feel like I can get my bearings.

I recognize the titles of the most popular blogs -- you commonly hear them referenced in magazines, newspapers, etc. And I understand the value of being able to search for terms in blog posts, in tags, and in the blog directory. I don't imaging this will be the primary way I find blogs of interest, however. To me, the "authority" of people I know professionally is going to carry more wait than what shows up as a result of searches in Technorati.

I don't know - Technorati seemed like a combination of Entertainment Tonight, CNN, MacNeil-Lehrer, local news, network news, Frontline, Oprah, NOVA, etc. all intermixed.
