Technorati

In regards to the layout of the pages for each, differences did emerge on how the results were displayed on each page. Doing a search in Blog Posts resulted in a list of blog posts with a few sentences from the post, which made selecting what you wanted to look at easier...at least for myself. Tags results did not include the sentences, but did include blog links. Blog Posts also included links attached to the search results that came up. Results from searching the Blog Directory included more blog links compared to other two. Similarities in the search results included the annoying ads for Howard TV, which took up too much space on the page being viewed. This aside, several of the same blog posts appeared in all three.

Exploring Popular Blog, searches and tags was interesting. Popular Blogs included pictures of video blogs, which is great for those of us who are more visual. What I found interesting is that Paris Hilton appeared on top searches for the last couple of weeks. She still must be very popular:) Both Paris Hilton and You Tube appeared on Popular Blog, Top Searches, and Tags.

If one can ignore the annoying advertisements, the benefits of using this tool would be to tag your posts for others to find, and as a tool for finding blog posts on topics you are interested in.
