So I was browsing technorati the other day with blogs that link to mine. A new one showed up called Kapil’s Korner. Kapil leaves comments on my blog from time to time and he wrote something about the website statistics counter that I use in his post, “The Sunday Punch“.
Along side the mention of the counter, he also talked about a few other things that he uses with his blog such as 43Things, Blogrolling, and Tag Cloud. I knew about 43Things and Blogrolling, but Tag Cloud was new to me. I went on over to the website, created an account, and submitted my blogs feed.
Almost a full day later, the service started assigning a few tags to my blog. Two days and I had over 250 of them. The service is pretty cool. Not only do they give you a page to land on, but they also have javascript that you can display on your own blog. Also, they create the tags for you.
Technorati on the other hand, requires you to explicitly identify text as a tag. You may have noticed all of my tags at the bottom of each post. Technorati also doesn’t generate tag clouds on a per-blog bassis. I’ve been working on my own little programs to automate the process of creating tag navigation on my blog, but it is tedious.
Well, so far I like the service. It is creating tags that I hadn’t thought of. I wonder what it will look like as time progresses. An interesting note is that the bottom of each page states “Content Analysis powered by Yahoo! Search“. I wonder how that is done exactly.
Thanks for linking to my blog. And some of your tags indeed look interesting.
“bedroom door” ???
Let’s see how they change over the next few weeks.
Yea, I was surprised as well with what it picked up. Since I blog every day, I hope it will not be too long before the tags start lining up and tell me what I talk about most often.
