When I explored Tehnorati using the general keyword search I found that I got more factual information from syndicated and well established blogs. News about the technology itself and implications. It gave me a better understanding of the national scale that Learning 2.0 encompasses.
In blog posts I found a lot of reactions to other stories and a lot about actual seminars and conferences that are going on in different cities concerning Learning 2.0 and Web 2.0. This wasn't surprising to me, blogs are completely reactionary in their base element. As a blogger you are taking internal and external experiences and developing your insight into what they mean to you. You are exploring with the use of technology your present mind in a post reactionary state. Blogging is retrospective as well as introspective.
Within tags I've found alot of posts about people going to actual seminars and conferences. Whether they are offering rides to the seminar or just talking about the conference itself, tags seem to be more oriented towards humanistic expression through symbology or simple phrases. Tags are symbolic and to me are a very diversified form of modern electronic poetry. Tags are the pulse and by watching only tags you could essentially watch the rise and fall of humanities interests, economic stability, moral disciplines, entertainment trends, and real news that is reported en masse by the people experiencing it.
