Task13 / 14. Technorati and Del.icio.us

Changed my mind about Technorati! When I saw the site task I screwed up my face but determined to give it another go... I think I've learnt a lot more about the web and i/net
in the past few weeks! Because although Technorati hadn't changed that much I certainly found myself putting off lunch for a couple of hours while I explored differing sections! I went into the culture vulture european sites, then decided to go for a more hedonistic beauty/fashion site where I learnt I could buy a handbag by a named designer for a mere US$200! I checked out the most popular rankings- No1 is engadget and he makes pronouncements on cellphones and plasma tv reliability, No2 is gizmodo at the moment and he deals in similar items but I found myself (hardly being the cellphone queen) more interested in Number three. I've inserted the link as he talks about a new way to work with Flickr and other edit image sites so could learn more.

The tag system seems easy enough( is that really me ?) and it sorts out the sheep and the goats
quickly.
Just when I decided it was so European I saw a blog -an American in Auckland- so naturally I had to stop and read her visit to Kerikeri at al! Enjoyed it, Katie from Ohio!

Del.icio.us http://del.icio.us/
This is another huge site with links to EVERYTHING! Like the tags people have put in to make so much clear. I've registered with this site as I am so impressed. I decided to treat it a little like a search roll just for recipes at this stage and have entered some sites and specific recipes just to try out the tagging. I must say having the toolbar access makes it so efficient! And after all that work with recipes I really need lunch! Its now 3pm and the kettle has had to be put onto boil again! Can't believe I've been playing with these two sites for more than three hours!
