I'm publishing my claim code 4VPZ58NYP2ZK so that Technorati can verify the blog. How would you do this in a more front-facting library blog? (wouldn't it look a bit odd?) presumably you can't break it up in any way.
I'm not sure how much I can now change my Technorati account. I'm not sure that I wanted to add the music blog - but now I'm not sure if I can do it retrospectively. I guess I'll have to explore this further.
In Technorati I wasn't sure which categories to pick to register this blog to as I didn't think anything was especially appropriate - I think I was slightly random in my choice.
It wasn't difficult to do but I was a bit uncertain of the process and where to go -perhaps it was a terminology problem for me.
It seems to be very US based - perhaps it's not yet common practice in the UK to link to it.
This morning I was thinking about the idea of authority in Technorati and how this reflects what we teach in information literacy and to some extent the idea of value in bibliometrics - borrowing from a traditional academic model and showing the value of those concepts in terms of information retrieval.
However I'm not sure it's authoratative in terms of content - Technorati only measures the linkage rather than the original content. Technorati authority seems to be a measure of like-mindedness,opinion and quantity. Quantity rather than quality?

Thing 10 - tagging and folksonomies -Delicious
It's taken a bit of time but I'm quite getting into Delicious - thanks to Ellie's help and suggestions.
Once I'd got over the usuual hurdle of my Yahoo password not working and having to reset it again I've created a set of bookmarks that I sent to the group I ran a workshop with last week. I've posted them onto my profile page for their subject. These tags included some of the URLs that I couldn't find on our own web pages . I'm not sure if the students are Delicious users but it was worth trying.
I've put a RSS feed of these tags into the 23 things blog.
I've noticed that I am bookmarking more URLS with the intention of adding them to my Delicious account.
I've also logged into my Delicious account and looked at other tags - I think I may set up an RSS feed into my music blog.I like the randomness of it.
