TECHNORATI

I think technorati is a very useful tool for blog searching. I do believe, just like any search engine, defining your topic to ensure useful results is critical and I'm concerned about the different results you can have depending on what way you search for the same topic (for example, using Blog Directory or blog posts, etc.) I can see that a librarian's skills set is indeed an advantage in this environment although we are now depending on 'everyone' contributing meaningful tags to identify/describe their blog content - maybe bloggers are or will become quite articulate in describing their world.
