Thing 3: Technorati

About blog search engines:
While I think it nifty that there are now search engines specifically geared towards sifting through blogs, I am also considerably skeptical about the accuracy of the possible returns . Firstly, because one has to register their blog to actually be in the pool of possible returned hits. Then there are questions pertaining to accuracy and legitimacy...
Relying on keyword searches and/or subjective subject tagging can be problematic, to say the least...
Being a librarian, and thus a discerning researcher, I am inclined to believe that employing a variety of search strategies could produce the same or even better results.
Setting these reservations aside, I'll explore Technorati and experiment with various search techniques and see what happens...

More on this later....
