Technorati


Searching on Technorati was actually a pretty fun adventure.

Technorati has many different blog topics that people can search. The most popular categories discussed are living, entertainment, and technology. The sub categories in living include: health, religion, arts, pets, fashion, food, family, home, and travel. Of these, arts is the most popular. The entertainment category is broken down into the following subcategories: celeb, film, music, television, comics, anime, gaming, and books. Of these books is the most popular—a good sign for librarians—with music close behind. The technology category consists of info tech and gadgets. Info tech is the most popular sub category of the entire list. As I examine the list of categories, I notice that there are no categories for education or history.

The topic I chose to search was singing. I used the following search terms when looking for blog posts: "voice training", "vocal coach", "David L. Jones", "Kathleen Van De Graaf", and "voice teacher". Because I either found no information or information not related to singing, I kept trying different key words with and without quotation marks. What little information I found didn’t appear to be related to singing. When I changed my search to looking for blogs related to my topic, I used the following search terms: "voice training" and "vocal coach". These search terms brought up several links to blogs with information that will be useful to me as a singer and as a beginning voice teacher.

Below are some of the links I found that will be useful to me:
