technorati comments

Technorati is an interesting site. It keeps track of registered blogs worldwide. The number of blogs doubles every 5 months! Today there were 14,928 posts and 806 blogs registered under the name "Learning 2.0". The top favorited blog was called "Boing Boing" that collected cultural curiosities and interesting facts about technology. Among the top searches today were YouTube (no surprise), Malaysia (lots of current events listed--especially political), Angelina Jolie, Heroes and David Caruso. The top blogs were Engadeget and Gizmoda, both tech blogs and Arriana Huffington's Huffington Post was among the most popular. The search for the word Heroes brought up the popular tv series and made note of Hayden Paneterra's comments that if she were a lesbian, she would like to meet Angelina Jolie. There were several other comments about the tv show, but there was an interesting post by someone called "cmdsalamander" who posts military items. He had a posting called "worth a prayer on Sunday" about how two women in Britain demanded that wounded British soldiers who lost limbs in the middle east & who were having physical therapy in a public pool, should be kicked out because it may scare the children! Apparently, war heroes in Britain these days are not treated with respect and gratitude. Too bad...
Technorati blogs can be searched by authority (number of times cited) or by freshness. Everything in the site is linked and can be called up by blogger or key word. Very topical and current.
