11 - Technorati & Blog Tags

Before doing this exercise, I had heard about Technorati but was never quite 100% sure of what it was or what it did. I really like how there are multiple ways of searching for the same subject - the different results for each type made sense...how one person lists or tags something is usually different than how someone else might categorize it. While browsing at the popular blogs/searches/tags I was not really too surprised about the top results. As a more technically driven resource, I sort of figured that the top results would be tech related one way or another. Still it is a useful feature to see the most popular searches, if nothing else to get a feel for what people think are important.
