Quest 6 Part 2: Technorati

Advanced Search Results for Library 2.0:
Keyword search: 4,748 posts
Tag search: 486 posts (clicking on the blogs tab on this page yielded 452 results)
Blog Directory search: 451 (interesting that this and the Tag search differed by 1)

Looks like the keyword search yields more results, but the Tag search may be my personal favorite in terms of relevancy.

And Michaels Stephens has popped up on almost every page I've viewed - even for the Del.icio.us exercise. Does this guy sleep? ;c)

Wow, there is a lot of stuff out there. A lot of smart people out there too. I clicked on one of the top videos - The Machine is Us/ing Us created by Michael Wesch, an Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University. What a timely commentary on the evolution of Web 2.0 and its effect on us - likewise our effect on it. At first I wanted to post the video directly in my blog post..... but I'm nooooooot quite sure how to do that yet, so here's the link if you want to check it out. UPDATE: Here's the embedded YouTube video. Many thanks to Ms. Kathy for walking me through it! You rock! Very snappy soundtrack by Deus too. ;c)

It also makes reference to the Wayback Machine - an Internet Webpage Archive that goes back to 1996. Here's the link: www.archive.org/web/web.php
