As a search tool, I found Technorati easy to use ... but the screen itself very busy with all those adverts and information to wade through.
When I searched for Learning 2.0 as asked, I got 7,661 posts; I changed the search to the blog directory and got 914 results. I could only find the option to search for tags in the Advanced search and got 1,263 results (not sure if there was another way but at least I found that). Even 914 results are way too many for me to wade through.
Noticed you could change the language and authority. When I changed the authority from the default of some authority to a lot of authority the results went up to 7,761!
It was interesting to see what people consider to be the popular blogs, searches and tags ... but really! who has the time to go through all of this. When Paris Hilton, Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Aniston make the top 9 you really have to wonder who is looking at all this stuff in cyberspace. But then I suppose that is why there are tools like Technorati - to help those that way inclined find out the latest on Paris and the two Jennifers.

Watched your impressive slideshow
while reading your technorati comments. Just finished exploring this site and reached many of your conclusions. Thank you for pointing out the 'some authority' and 'a lot of authority' didn't find that facility but it sounds a little nebulous!. What a well-put- together blog site.
