Metablog favourite

I thought I'd save whoever is marking my work a bit of time by including an image showing that the ba-ma metablog is a favourite on my Technorati account as well as provide a link to it.

technorati top 100

I've actually looked through all 100 of the top site listed in technorati, and even followed some interesting links that I've bookmarked. Some are really dreadful, some so plain that you wouldn't know hat you were on someone blog. Of the 35 sites that I've put into flickr as having some aesthetical appeal to me, my favourite overall site would have to be xiaxue. Pink is not a colour I'm particularly drawn to, but I really like the graphic on the page and the typography works well with it. Variety of the blog entries is added by the use of bold, all caps, italicised etc type, as her entries are about her life, she types them as she'd speak them. Here's her site

engadget

Ok, 1st site of the Technorati top 100 and I get a blog that is a commercial site!!?? Okay they say that they're not, that they're purpose is "we're here to keep you informed about what's up", but at first glance commercial appears to be what they're all about. Turns out their digital everything reviewers/advisors and a way for like-minded digital geeks (no offence intended) to communicate with the team at Engadget and each other. I though blogs were a personal thing - product reviews seem, to me, to fall outside this definition. Do I have to review my definition? Or can blogs have a multitude of purposes?

Technorati

The diffrence between Technorati and a search engine is in the way they search content. The Help in Technorati refers to this difference as live vs wide; the live engine is Technorati, whose tools cause it to be notified of new content as it happens. A wide search engine, such as Google, searches static, inactive material, occasionally searching for new content. "Technorati allows you to find out what people are saying about you, your company, your products, your competitors, your politics and, other areas of interest, on the Internet in real time." In addition to being places for people to use as diaries many blogs are reviews of current affair items - news, gossip and technology to name a few. On the Popular page there are links to show users the most popular links (from within blogs, I think) to sites about music, videos, movies, games, DVDs, news and blogs
I have Authority: 1 · Rank: 2,090,250 - Woohooo

In addition, Technorati allows you to save favourites within the program, different to a search engine whose pages can be saved in your browsers favourites
