Thing 13- Technorati

It was really interesting to learn that blog sites double every 6 months, according to Technorati.  The site itself is also pretty interesting in that it is sort of like a google for blogs.  When searching for "Learning 2.0" the site rendered only one result and none when looking under blogs or posts.  Quite a lot of results were given for the search "health and fitness."  However, when I searched for a blog that I follow routinely (Meals and Miles), it was nowhere to be found.  Which could mean that it was just never registered or tagged on Technorati.  Overall this is a very useful tool in searching for the billions of blogs that are now being published on the WWW and a great way for librarians or information literacy instructors to keep up with the latest trends and hottest topics on the web.
