Throughout 23 Things I'm learning that I'm not nearly as web savvy as I thought. Well, I never thought I was savvy. But I thought I knew enough about blogs. Technorati is a little overwhelming for me. Here is a question I still have- when you search for tags and blogs on Technorati, are you only receiving results from blogs that have put themselves there? As in, I might get more results with Google? Or does it catch all blogs but only the cool kids who sign up get their blog names listed and have profiles and all that jazz?
Delicious I had more success with. I personally don't keep a lot of bookmarks so I hadn't felt the need to sign up, but playing around a little today I've decided it could be useful. Especially for a research project that involves lots of web searching, because not only would it save the sites for you but after you've saved several your tags will start to highlight your findings. I guess it's also nice to see what other people have tagged. (Of course that invites another opportunity for online "stalking," too.)
One finding I want to share-- in Delicious I searched for the tag "archives" and found this one guy who has a ton of archives sites saved, and from there I found a neat syndicated collection of archives blogs. It has archives blogs from all over the world so some of the posts aren't even in English, but I thought it was a neat site.
