#14 technorati

well, i'm still having a hard time swallowing all of this (as you can probably tell from my sloooow progression through the "23 things")...
technorati seems very useful... i think i'm still having a hard time getting over the idea that blogs can be legitimate sources of information and not just emo musings made public. i KNOW that there are many libraries and businesses using the blog format.
the tag search seemed most helpful. i suppose that tagging is indexing/subject organization by the people for the people. what if libraries used tags in addition to subjects? included blogs, videos, and other (approved) web created resources in their search results? this has probably already happened to some extent, i'm just not familiar with it.
wow, i think i'm onto something :)
