Technorati

So, for this exercise, I explored, Technorati, the leading search tool and authority for blogs. I was surprised to discover that Technorati is only three years old, or should I say young. "Young" is what keeps popping into my head as I explored this site. I feel Technorati is geared toward the younger set. Most of the popular blogs dealt with music, movies and making money.
I did a keyword search for "Learning 2.0" in the three areas and came up with very different results in each. I explored popular blogs and took a look at Boing Boing (found it very strange), Techcrunch and youtube. Did not find much that interested me. The most interesting article I found was in a popular blog called Thinking Blog. The title of the article was "Being a Good Parent". The article was well written and interesting, but after reading the article, I wondered, does the writer have children. Since most of Technorati and the popular blogs are geared to the young, who besides me is reading this article. In summary, Technorati did not interest me , I was not interested in the optional task and I felt "old" after this assignment.
