23 Things: Technorati
I follow so many blogs and feeds at this point that I don’t usually go out looking for more things to read, so I don’t usually go look for what’s hot on Technorati. I do, however, like that you can subscribe to a search (of course I have a vanity search set up … though it mostly returns hits on a designer who shares my name), I like being able to follow specific tags, and I often check it when I am composing a blog post to see if anyone else has commented on the same topic.
I don’t see myself using Technorati much for library services, simply because I need to focus on scholarly literature for my patrons. For me, Technorati and other blog search and ranking sites are definitely professional development and networking tools.
Next up: the Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 can of worms.
