I spent some time this afternoon investigating Technorati. This is the first contact that I have really had with this website. I spend probably an hour claiming my blog and then just checking it out. I looked at the Technorati State of the Blogosphere and the Popular Searches and Tags. I added the Technorati button to my blog, see the banner at the top of the blog. Add my blog as one of your faves!
The State of the Blogosphere interesting but I really enjoyed looking at the Popular Searches and Tags. I found that authority refers to the number of people who have commented on a blog. It is interesting that the top blog based on fans is Boing Boing, a blog about pop culture and technology; whereas the top blog based on authority is Breaking News and Opinion on the Huffington Post.
I searched Library 2.0 too and it does seem to be a good way to aggregate all the blogs you would like to read about a subject. I think Technorati seems to provide what I need in a blog aggregator/ search thing. I like it better than bloglines because it seems to be more about searching for blog posts that you are interested in reading now, where as Bloglines seems to be about collecting and keep your blog posts all in place. This seems to fit my needs better.
