Thing #14

Create a blog post for Thing #14 and express your thoughts regarding how Technorati and its features could assist you. Since you have now looked at several tools that use tagging (Technorati, de.licio.us, & Flickr), add your thoughts about the value of tagging information.
Exploring Technorati was a blast. I wish you hadn't included the popular searches link because now I'll never want to go back to work. Found a blog with 10 tips to find time to do 23 Things by a university librarian in Cananda that was helpful. Also, loved a youtube video by a singer I like who appeared on Sesame Street. The students will love using Technorati and tags to help them find other students with similar interests or to just research a topic. My only concern is that there might be predators out there looking to speak with students. Does the district allow the use of Technorati or is it blocked?

be careful of the font colors that you are using..some of your colors are not "readable"...look at your blog from the reader's viewgqa and you will see what I mean!

I see what you mean. RED is not a good color.
