Technowhatti?
I can see the value in "cataloging" all the information available into a folksonomi, however, when trying to organize opinions, this can get rather ugly.
When "surfing" through this service and checking out tags leading to supposed blogs I discovered yet another way to exploit blogging for marketers who utilize "auto page forward" to force a reader to a site.
Why cant everyone use these powers for GOOD and not evil????
While working on the exercises for Technorati, I noticed that the top searches are for things I've never heard of.. Pinky, Jonny (some band member i think), Zune (apparently Ms's version of the ipod). I guess this shows my age...alot. But I also recognized others.. Project Runway (which my wife is hooked on), Tom Green, myspace, Lindsey Lohan, and Google: All top searches seemed to be social in nature. On the other hand, the top tags are nearly ALL political or business in nature: Bush, Microsoft, Iraq, Terrorism, war, Islam, China, politik, and Web 2.0
While searching for "Learning 2.0" at Technorati, I found a great blog about technology and "Web 2.0"... Technology Enhanced Learning This is a very well written blog by a fellow in Germany who seems to be in the very middle of social networking. Very educational for us "old folks" who remember (fondly)Electronic Bulletin Board Systems.
