Our latest 23 Things assignment is Technorati, an internet search engine for blogs. I'd looked at the site before but never really bothered exploring properly, so I'm happy that the 23 Things programme is allowing me the time to do this.
Inspired by all the World Book Night excitement over the weekend, the first thing I did was look at some of the top blogs for books. I was pleased to see that the top blog Novelr's most recent post was about my favourite author Margaret Atwood.
I then had a quick look at the Top 100 Link but couldn't see much that interested me so I quickly moved on to searching within the blogs. Continuing on last week's theme, I searched for Matt Damon. Yesterday afternoon, I went to see Inside Job, narrated by Matt, at the Ritzy in Brixton (my favourite London cinema). It's an excellent insight into the global financial crisis and shows that some of the people who caused the meltdown are still working for the US government. I commented to my friend that I thought Matt Damon was disappointed by Obama's performance so far and so it's quite appropriate that the first result in my Technorati search was Matt Damon Tells Piers Morgan He’s Disappointed By Barack Obama.
The next task was to sign up to Technorati and submit this blog. The signing up bit was simple enough but they needed me to include my claim code in a post before my blog could be verified. The original post included this but I've since removed it.
I finally received the claim complete notice two weeks after submitting it. This means any new posts I write will appear on Technorati.
