Tag: I'm lost

I was going to start this blog with a declrative statement. You see lately I have been realizing all of the reservations I seem to have about the new technology related to Web 2.0. I feel really guilty about this only because when I mentioned one of the lifelong habits of learning that is easiest for me in my first post, I said it was play. I said play because I like to explore things but lately reading my post you would think I'm anti-Web 2.0 (not true by the way). Anyway I was going to start this blog with a promise that I would be more open minded about whatever new technology I learned about today, here's the problem: I just learned about technorati. I watched the youtube video and it looked so interesting to me. They set up all of these sections for people new to blogs to give them some idea of what to read, they had most popular blog searches and tags, and basically they made me want to visit the site. What I found when I got there was not what was promised. In their defense (since I am still determined to stop sounding so whiny) the reason the page may have looked so different from the one on youtube is becuase I do not have a personal account with them; the youtube page may only show up after you sign into your own account which would explain it to some extent. But even the homepage looked different from the one I saw on the youtube video (the one for users who hadn't signed in yet). Tagging didn't really help me to find anything, probably because I had nothing on the page tagged but still I mean the blogs that the site found when I typed in a particular keyword didn't even seem related to the the word that I had used to begin with. I did end up finding some really interesting blogs when I typed on different subject bars at the top of the page like entertainment and lifestyle, but there were no blogs under them it looked like. Hey I know I didn't stay true to my original promise not to knock all this new technology, all I can say to redeem myself is go play for yourself. I did and it didn't work out it might be completely different for you. After all I'm not that technologically savvy. If you find out any other cool or helpful way for me to use the site without actually being signed into it, write back and tag it under found.
