Thing 14

Hi, I'm J-Lib and I am a blog-a-holic. I think technorati would get me in trouble. I also am amazed that the blogs I love to read: Pinkisthenewblog, Dooce and Greek Tragedy are not in the top 100 via technorati. These people make a living off of blogging and yet, they're not in the top 100. Weird.

I found it interesting by finding the 'popular' button that people seem to be doing a lot of tagging or labeling for Crocs. Wha?!? Ok.

Again, if there was an assignment for students to keep track of something, say, McCain/Obama, via blogs or posts, then this is great. They can link to a whole world of information.

However, I have to ponder if tagging would be similar to filing. The problem with filing is that I always forget did I file it under 'appliance' or 'refrigerator' or was that 'fridge'. I wonder if I'd do the same thing with tags--today I meant YA Lit but tomorrow it'll be Young Adult. This isn't a technorati or tagging problem, seems like a personal problem to me. HA!

I, myself, am going to stay far, far, faaaar away from something that will only lead me to read more blogs. Stop the madness!!!!
