Technorati

Well my first impression of Tecnorati is that it is not very user friendly or easy on the eye. I think it's great to have access to such a huge number of blogs and the option to search for them through keywords, blog titles and tags, however I don't think I would be to keen on using this resource again. I believe that it is just too messy and a bit difficult to find exactly what you want, but I'm sure there are plenty of people who would disagree with me. After doing the search for " Learning 2.0" I had 8299 blog titles, 693 tag options and 32299 options in the directory. I'm not too surprised with my findings, however I don't believe that they are correct as I would have to search Web 2.0 as a related search to get a more precise number.
After looking at the popular blogs and searches I was surprised to see "Boing Boing" on the top as I have no idea what it is and I couldn't access it due to a problem. Also I would have never imagined that a top search would be "Taskbar" , but there you go, you learn something new every day.
