Technorati

I have never done anything on Technorati, so this was a good experience for me. I noticed that although all the categories had  over 10,000 links, the entertainment blogs were definitely the most represented among the categories. I was surprised to see that the science category had some of the lower numbers, it also seemed odd to me that the science category wasn't broken down into smaller sub categories, which is what I would expect.

I like that you can search blogs or blog posts but i think that searching through blog posts is much more effective as sometimes blog names don't correlate with their subject matter.  For instance, I wanted to read more about the silk road which is a drug trafficking site available only by using TOR and going into the deep web ( have no fear Anne, I am not looking to purchase any opium, it is just very interesting to me). When I searched silk road using the blog search I got zero results, but when I changed to posts I was able to find some posts that related to what I was interested in knowing more about.

Technorati definitely seems like a great way to keep up with some more popular blogs as well as a great way to discover new blogs.
