Technorati was a tad overwhelming for me in that there is too many things going on at the same time. I did claim my blog and I did put a few things on the watchlist. The popular blog was interesting to see what people are looking for and the tags that everyone is using.
My thoughts about tagging are that it could be very beneficial for locating specific materials, but one of the problems I see is that you receive several irrelevant choices because you can't control what other people are using as tags. You could possibly be missing some major information if you don't search by the appropriate tags. It may actually benefit students to "think" about how they want to search for their information and when they develop their own blogs they then have to determine what tags would be best so that everyone can find their blog. Critical thinking skills are essential to everyone and Technorati allows you to develop those skills while searching for information.
I am a little nervous about tagging my posts, but I am going to give it a shot and see how things turn out.
YIPPPPEEEEE!!!! It worked, I think.
