Subscribed to Technorati, again using my blog name and password (So many passwords, so little memory!)
Compared keyword searching in Blog posts, tags and directory. Searching by tags definitely retrieves a more focussed range of results. I still yearn for some way to do a combined-tag search or for some form of sophisticated filters or limiting. Increasingly, I want fewer, more targeted results. Searching blogs is fine for people with the time to explore at leisure, but I'll probably stick to old faithful Google for information searching.
I find I'm not really interested in browsing the blogs of complete strangers. The whole global social networking thing is a bit impersonal for me. I'm old-fashioned enough to want to see who I'm talking to.
Interesting Technorati features:
The Watchlist, to save typing favourite searches.
