Week 6: Thing 14

I'm not sure exactly what the goal of technorati is, but it doesn't seem overly helpful in a classroom setting. My feel for it is that it is a way for blogs to be present on search engines, but to me, this seems to further perpetuate the idea that blogs are reliable sources of information in a scholastic setting. If I had a blog about fixing cars and I wanted to be able to find or have others find related blogs, this could be very helpful. However, this would not prove to be a beneficial exercise in a classroom. Personally, I find blogs to be good tools to share your life with those with whom you want to share it. It's not something I want for the world to see in most cases.
