Searching Blogs???

Blogs are about being trendy.  When people follow a particular blog, it is considered trendier than another.  This is not because it is a better authority but simply because more people like it.

The site http://technorati.com/blogs/directory/ directory categories only consist of trendy topics.  This leaves out a lot of subjects that relate to personal hobbies.  The directory’s large categories list nothing on history, education and interestingly crime, but lots on entertainment, living, technology, cars, sports, and environment – topics that are trendy.  It is particularly interesting that entertainment seems to be what people most look for in blogs, though politics and business are also evident.

I like the blog search in http://technorati.com/ better than the post search.  I chose two random subjects to search for blogs about.  The first search I did was a blog search on genealogy.  It brought up 705 blogs.  Then I did a postings search on genealogy and it only gave four results.  I did a second search to see if this made sense according to its search.  This time I search for model trains.  In the blog search I got 39 blogs.  In the posts search, I got seven.  I think the blogs search is a better option, but only if you are into this kind of thing.  Now, I wonder what http://ancestryinsider.blogspot.com has to say…
