I will certainly use Technorati as a search tool to find information in blogs for personal or professional use. Tagging makes so much sense, the world of blogs is so immense. As I was looking around and trying various searches I discovered that phrases did not produce a lot of "hits", but short one word tags delivered many. I guess it is kind of opposite of what I would do in a "google" search. Usually I would use many words to narrow down my search, but when searching blogs I am looking for a word to bring me many sources of information. Still trying to make sense of it all.
I found it not surprising that 4 out of 5 top blogs were tech related. However, I did not understand why the top tag search was the word taskbar. Other popular searches related to celebrities and cheat codes. The most popular tags were: friends, internet, life, music, news, politics, romance & relationships and weblog. Pretty good range, I think.
I did claim my blog.. I wanted to add a "tag generator" widget to my blog, but it seems to no longer exist. So, I have added the Technorati Top Tag Widget add the botom of my blog to help me remember to tag... and to know what words are appropriate, or useful, as tags.
