Three cheers for Technorati

The number of blogs on the web is astonishing. Seems everyone has something to say. And you want to know how to find useful, intelligence, knowledgeable and entertaining blogs to read?? Well look no further, Technorati is your answer. You will need some time to sit and meander through the vast landscape of available reads but I assure you something will definitely pique your interest. Every subject on Earth is covered in a blog and they very nicely catalog them at Technorati. I started with a search of learning 2.0 and found a great blog called Mashable. They blog about and report on all of the latest web 2.0 technologies. I also searched for some entertainment blogs to keep current on all the latest gossip! I found LaineyGossip to inform of the latest celeb news. You can find blogs on fashion, international news, books and reading, feminism, art, even parenting. This site seems so useful for librarians. If you are public librarian you could help patrons connect to so many other voices and if you are in the academic realm you can help faculty and students connect to academic association blogs as well as fellow members of their academic community. I think Technorati is a very valuable tool for any information professional.
