Technorati, however, just tracks blog content. Any web page can use Microformats to markup reviews, not just blogs. Technorati, however, just tracks blog content.

The first one is called Technorati and Microformats and I learned a bunch there. We discussed Technorati in class and I’ve read a bit about it, but there’s something about reading a classmate’s description of it that gives it a fresh perspective and makes it more understandable. Maybe it’s the peer quality; makes it less intimidating and therefore easier to digest. So what I got is that Technorati is essentially a search engine for blogs. You can claim your blog there so others can find you more easily and you can also use it, as Sandy pointed out, for seeing what other people are saying about topics that interest you. The neat thing about it is that it pretty much operates in live time. You can get updates on new posts every 60 seconds. Cool! [...] [...] So, Sandy has THREE posts on microformats!
