Technorati

Categories that were well represented in the blog directory were; Living (17766)- which includes health, religion, arts, food, etc.(The sub category of food was the most used (8103)) and Entertainment (11830) and Technology (11173). The categories that were not well represented were: Science (1179) and Auto (1128). I searched for blogs on “school librarian” and got “0” results. I chose the topic “books” under the category Entertainment (which is the largest category under entertainment). This search resulted in many blogs. The most popular blog being; “Whatever” with the authority number of 948, which was the highest number. Then I searched for “books” under posts, and I found the results to show very specific comments as compared to blogs, which are more general. The posts with high authority numbers(963) were; “10 Books 10 Countries” (The best translated books of 2009) and “Books & Games Following Music Leads” which tells us that Amazon sold more Kindle digital books than paper books on Christmas Day 2009. (A bit of trivia for you.) I am wondering why there is not a category for Education and Libraries. So I looked a little further and went to the category “technology” and searched for library blogs. I got 2799 blogs relating to libraries. It always pays to keep searching (and playing!).
