Technorati

Technorati is a useful site to research a specific topic or idea and find blogposts which can give you everything from expert opinion, satire, video and junk.

Just looking at categories of "popular" blogs, tags, and searches doesn't seem that interesting to me. Boing, Boing comes up and the Huffington Post which are topical but American oriented.

Using the advanced search allows you to find things in a variety of ways that are specific to your interests, so you don't just get lost in useless stuff.

When inputting "learning 2.0" in "all keywords" I got 6, 375 possibilities. Searching the same by tags gave me 629 posts and by blog directory 716 posts.

I came across a posting satirizing Learning 2.0 and talking about Learning 5.0 or 6.0 as basically a lets keep changing and who cares what the public wants. Working to learn new things for our own benefit rather than the public.

There was an interesting video about Transformatin Lab-Library 2.0 protype at the Main Library in Aarhus, Denmark. It completely put the idea of the "library" on its ear with public events, interactive technologies and ultimately explained that the library of the future will never be completed but will always be developing.
