Thing 14 Technorati and Tags

I think I have a pretty good understanding of tagging, and think it's an invaluable tool. Of course, librarians use subject headings in much the same way as tagging to help patrons find materials. I'm just happy to now be able to add tags to web content.

I can understand anyone in sales will be most interested in these tags to spot market trends, but wonder what it will do to us as consumers of information. Things already change and go out of style so quickly now.

I liked the advanced search feature in Technorati. I think it will be a great tool in the neverending search for information. I found Technorati very user friendly.
