I did a search in Technorati but it was about as helpful as asking my dog for information. I know this site has changed a lot since its inception and I'm not sure how relevant it is anymore for the general internet searcher. Google blog search gave me some results but I actually got more results by just doing a regular Google search. I also got a lot of results on Ask.com (in fact they were exactly the same as the Google results).
While doing this project I did more "tag" searching than ever before. And I'm not necessarily won over. I'm sure that if you had a specific project or research paper that you were doing tagging is essential. But for me, the elementary librarian, Pinterest gives me everything I need. Seriously. It is probably the most amazing search tool that I have used in many years. When you learn how to search it correctly and understand the difference between searching for pins versus searching for boards, you will find a wealth of information.
