Technorati search for library related blogs.

Interestingly the Technorati subject directory does not have a heading or subheading for libraries. Sigh. It does not have one for Education either, so I guess that shows what blogs are mainly used for!

A search for Library AND local AND history got some really really weird things. Library AND "local history" did better. Interesting that it uses the Google terminology (capitalise the operators). Tried Australia and "local history" and it is more interesting. Thought here are still a lot of false drops - one day I will have the time and energy to find out why the blog about "Jackie Onassis" came through. When I restrict it to blogs there is only one - Yarra Plenty of course. There must be more out there - though Technorati is meant to cover heaps (over 100M). Google blogsearch got 26 (after had limited to history in title) but most of them were totally useless. The art of blog searching is still very basic! I guess the usual algorithms would be useless often with blogs.
