Technorati Blog Finder

Technorati Blog Finder is a new venture into the blog directory scene.

Good thing about this is the blog categories are assigned by the user (up to 20)…the system already suggests 20 categories based from the most frequent categories you use on your blog, but as mentioned you can change these to your liking.

You can search for a category or browse the cloud, the ranking (for the list) or weighting (for the cloud) are still based on the usual most incoming links, so they are like topic based 100 lists.

Otherwise sort by recently updated (this is definitely needed as a blog with heaps of incoming links may stay on top even though they haven’t blogged in a while), or alphabetically (great for those on the bottom to be seen, unless you don’t have many incoming links and your blog starts with “Z”, well then you can’t be helped as of yet).

UPDATE: I have tagged SLP with

Tagged                 Weblogs, Science, Searching, Conference, RSS Feed Tools, Wiki, Digital Library, Research Tools, OPAC, Service Oriented Architecture, Folksonomy, Web Services, Technology Foresight, Firefox Extensions, XML, E-science, Open Access, OAI, Publishing, Library

I may clean these up a bit.  A few of them were suggested by Technorati but I filled in the rest myself.

Awesome! Blog Finder is an early beta, and we wanted to get it out to the world so that you can bang on it, give us your comments, and help us to improve it by tagging your blogs with the tags that you want to be listed under - as you have already done!

Would love your continued feedback and comments, you can reach me directly at dsifry at technorati dot com as well...
