Tagging and Technorati

Because I was lazy yesterday and decided to go to the beach and to the movies instead of working the learning 2.0 program, I am now sunburned and trying to make my ailing computer stay alive while I work out two tasks this morning.

I like the idea of Technorati as a good way to search for blogs relating to specific topics, but I have to admit that I am still new to reading blogs on a regular basis. I think I'll have to report back on this one.

Also to consider: how do blogs function as a source of information? My mother, a high school history teacher, found that this year was the first time blogs were used as sources in the research papers she assigns. I'll spend some more time looking around Technorati to find this out.

However, I like the idea of tagging though I don't often think to do it. But I am going to try, if only to track where my mind is at any given moment.
