It is amazing to me how much information is out on the web that I was totally unaware of! I am learning so much from this "Library Learning 2.0 class". I had never heard of RSS or Technorati until this class.
I played around with the Technorati search terms and was amazed at some of the results. When I typed in "web 2.0", I had 195,333 results. When I narrowed it down to "library web 2.0", I had 63 results. A much more manageable amount of information to scan over.
Next I played around with some tags. I don't think that I am ready to tag my blog topics yet! I tagged "books" and had 143,666 posts. Then I searched for "romance book recommendations" and got 1 post.
Technorati could be very helpful when students are needing to do research and find different opinions. They can use the Gale website of opposing viewpoints, but I think that they could find some good blogs that are well written, just not published in a magazine. The keyword search and tag options will help narrow topics down.
