I really don't see a use for this unless of course you create a professional blog and you want other bloggers to have access to the information on your blog. I wasn't too keen on tagging my blog for this assignment. The jury is still out on that. Right now I can't think of anything on it that would be useful to anyone else. Do any of you that have seen my blog, agree? I did perform the three searches using keyword, tag, and blog directory. I searched for "Library 2.0" as directed. An exact key word search yielded 1,043 results. A key word search looking for all the words yielded 4,705 results. Tag searching yielded 478 results. Blog directory searching yielded 440 results. I guess it all depends on the amount of research you are doing and the amount of information you need. Wadding through 4,000 some odd results can be cumbersome. I will say that tagged and blog searching seemed to yield more results that were revelant to the search filtering out the unrelated excess.
Looking at the popular blogs and blog searches wasn't really interesting to me. I really didn't find anything that was all that surprising. I did read an article about a secondary school in the UK that is testing RFID embedded uniforms on students. Supposedly the devices are to contain information on the students' academic performance, know the students' current location, and have the ability to deny access to certain areas. Go figure? This is not a site I would use again. It was very "techy" in the setup and the content. I did find a link to movie information. I managed to get some up to date information box office information on a current movie I just saw--twice--Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?. As I was looking at it, I realized that I can find this information on yahoo or google. There was nothing to compell me to come back to this site. I can see an agency or organization with revelant information to share tagging their blog and making it accessible for others to view. I didn't feel that I needed to do it with my personal blog, so I opted not to tag or claim authorship through Technorati for my blog.
