I went through Del.icio.us and technocrati today and I can't say I was too impressed! Del.icio.us wasn't bad but I honestly don't think I will use it a lot. I can see how it could be useful professionally as a quick source of reference and an alternate "search engine" on specific topics but I do not think I will have a lot of use for it.
Technorati, on the other hand, I did not like at all. I found it confusing and disorganized. I went through the exercises and was appalled at the results...
When searching for Learning 2.0 in Blog Posts, I ended up with 29.633 results... When processing the same search in tags and in Blog Directory, I ended up with 241 posts (in addition to video and pics results) and 315 blogs respectively. Who has time to go through each individual result to locate what they are looking for????
When searching for KCLS27things, the results were fewer but still too numerous to go through for a simple search... Blog Posts: 47 blogs / Tags: 43 tags / Blog Directory: 4 results.
It seems to me that blog spots look for key words when blog directory looks for whole sentences... Either way, I think you end up with too many results to go through in order to find what you are looking for. Technorati is a tool I will not be using!
