Exercise #14: Technorati

I am a little confused as to what benefits Technorati might have over Bloglines. Doing these exercises have made me come to a conclusion: one cannot get bored with the internet. I have been debating what services to get in my apartment. I know that I want internet but I don't really care for cable. With all the discoveries, I feel that the internet will be able to entertain me AND educate me in one manner or another.
I was very excited to see my results via the blog search on Technorati. I originally searched New York Life and did not come up with much. When I think of New York, I think of Arthur Nersesian, so I searched his name. I came across Maud Newton's blog which had an entry about Akashic Books celebrating their anniversary. Part of their anniversary, Nersesian came out with a book THIS MONTH! I have read a couple of his books and they remain to be my top choices of reads. I decided I would go to the bookstore this weekend and look for his new book and support him (and Akashic).
I thank Technorati for this find; if I had not used their search engine, I may not have known about this book until next year.

I also attempted to claim my blogs via Technorati; however, they have not been verified :(
