Hello world!
I just checked my Technorati site where I've claimed my blog.
My rank is 4,580,432 and has no authority or fans...YET...
After searching Technorati for School Library 2.0, this link jumped out at me from page 16!!
Here we go Off the shelf librarian...I hope this give you the bitty jump start you need to get recognized in that big blog world out there...

All the way from Texas? What a small world after all,
jane

Week 6: Tagging, Folksonomies & Technorati #14 Explore Technorati and learn how tags work with blog posts
Earlier in the week I did the search for "School Library Learning 2.0”. I found a few links to folks who took this class!
I'm not particularly surprised to find the popular choices revolve around technology, politics, and current culture. This new realm really does bring "voice" to your fingertips. As they state in their "about us" page...it's about what's happening now.
I may be a bit slow on the uptake with this one...and may have even "realized" this earlier, but Technorati is like a melting pot for interests and ideas. It's a technological innovation that as it "crawls" through the vast web creates linked connections based on language (tagging choices). Getting Technorati to notice you is one of the purposes of week 6.
Whoa! I've just claimed ownership of my blog! Go School Library 2.0...let's get those favorites numbers up!!

Week 6: Tagging, Folksonomies & Technorati #13 Learn about tagging and discover Del.icio.us (a social bookmarking site)
Another adventure...
I helps me to define the things I look at, so here's what I found at the Technorati site:
"Technorati is the recognized authority on what's happening on the World Live Web, right now. The Live Web is the dynamic and always-updating portion of the Web. We search, surface, and organize blogs and the other forms of independent, user-generated content (photos, videos, voting, etc.) increasingly referred to as “citizen media". We rapidly index tens of thousands of updates every hour..."
So from a tagging perspective, technorati is a melting pot of sorts.
As for Library Thing...again individually selected tags that make sense to the contributor...rather than following a standard method as in more traditional settings. I guess what is fabulous about this is at least it does organize the wealth of data linked/accessible via the web. Not for the purist mind you, but definitely functional. Onward...
I just recently started a del.icio.us site. It's a life-saver. For so long I've stumbled through trying to keep track of the various sites that cross my path on a regular basis. It's overwhelming. I had to give up a bit worrying that I was "tagging" things well. The bottom line is that it needs to make sense to me...it needs to reflect the content in a way that will make it accessible in the future when I need it.
I could see this tool being used by anyone doing research over a period of time...personal or academic. It's a way to make some sense out of the chaos. Libraries can use this to make their web presence unique to their patrons. I could see it developed into a reflection of the community interests. Lots of potential for this one.
