#14 technorati

Searching "Learning 2.0 in all blogs, exact phrase; wow! 3878 results for Learning 2.0 as of 7/17. The results, however are less than relevant. Searching in tag search (3 results)more relevant, but I need a bunch of windows open to complete this exercise (ever heard of back buttons?) Searching in Blog Directory; 485 blogs... authority? hahaha! Popular pages... suprising? money, entertainment, tech, politics, no, not suprising.

Authority on the "live" web is interesting. In the technorati search guide, authority is "determined by the number of unique site links that a blog has. The more unique site links a blog has to it, the better the ranking and higher the authority of the blog." My impression of authority of relevenant resources includes terms such as "scholarship or scholarly", peer reviews, etc. I'm sure the marketing industry will figure out (quickly!) how to utilize the "live web's" criteria for authority.
