Technorati

I've used Technorati on and off. As you might have surmised from some of the posts below, I'm not a really big fan of blogs. However, this is a useful service for finding buried information from the never ending, always growing blogosphere.
For instance, knowing what the top 100 most popular blogs are is a real shortcut to understanding what is important to a large slice of computer-users.
But again, I find this incredibly distracting. I just listened to Gail and Dale from the Lawrence Welk show singing "One Toke over the Line". Wuniful.
It's good to schedule a regular brief dip into this site. It's search features are robust, and is a real help in locating pertinent blogs and individual posts without having to have them pushed out at you.
