Technorati is a cool name for a blog. Though at first glance one could think it's a site for expensive race cars.
For the blog lover this is a one-stop-shop!
In perusing the blog directory which was very easy to find, I noticed that the most numerous blogs were in the Entertainment (39,959 blogs), Technology (34,958 blogs), Business (31,659 blogs), Politics (15,785 blogs), Sports (11,767 blogs).
The largest blog section is called Living (53,416 blogs). All things domestic and relating to living our lives were there in 9 different sub-categories.
At first glance the one thing I noticed that "Education" wasn't listed as a main category or a sub-category for blogs. I didn't see "Beauty" as a main blog category or sub-category. Also in Sports, I think they should include a sub-category for "Running/Jogging". I think it would also be nice to see "Cultural" blogs on there as well.
I tried searching "Training for a 10K race"
In the blog post option I actually got no results. In the blog option there were 5 blogs and 4 out of the 5 looked like they weren't much of anything, no recent posts or pictures etc..
So I tried the words "running 10K" and got 86 pretty reputable blogs and no blog posts on the topic. It seems if you search by blog post, you need to be highly specific or use a lot of key words.
Technorati is definitely a useful site for finding specific blogs that are reputable and that have a reputation for longevity.
