Technorati – the site that everybody loves to hate – has a new feature where you can search for blogs by category, on specific subjects.
I checked out the page, called Blog Finder (in beta), and decided to do a search for Montreal.
It claims that the results are sorted by « authority ».
Result number 1: The guy who shares my house
Result number 2: The guy who takes great care of Yulblog
Result number 3: The guy who takes great photos
Result number 4: The guy who just moved out of Montreal
Nice top line up. All cute Montrealers. Not very many women, as far as I can tell. It works with tags so I guess the girls need to get busy with the tagging business.
Jean-Pierre Cloutier notices that there are no francophone blogs listed and that the method used for choosing the blogs is not explained.
Oh well. At least I know they got the top guy right. ;-)
Edited: There’s actually a bit more information about how Blog Finder works here.
Wow, I’m the number 1 authority? HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!
Oops! Sorry darling! The tags I added have done their work and you just got moved to number two. ;-)
Slam!
D’oh!
How about the guy who moved out of Montreal many years ago…? I guess he didn’t make the list ;)
I don’t even use tags!
I actually came here through the blog finder, tag – writing.
Plaisir de faire votre connaissance.
Je vois apparaitre
petit � petit le terme
tag.
C’est d�cid� je vais faire
une recherche pour savoir
ce que c’est.

This post made me realize that I have been a very bad ‘net citizen and that my list of links really needed upgrading.
J’ai fait une recherche, mais en entrant « Montr�al » avec un accent et c’est Karl qui arrivait en premier…
J’allais le dire. Je ne connais pas la ville de Montreal, en revanche je connais Montr�al ;)

Ah oui dans les trucs compl�tement stupides.
Je suis en premier pour

Je ne croyais pas que Technorati reconnaissait les accents!
Me voici donc sous Karl. Euh enfin, vous voyez ce que je veux dire…
Technorati has just added another whistle on a car with a broken engine.
Looks like Technorati has just gone through some major clean-up in their old links. Zeke is now the top dawg.
Yeah, I don’t know what happened. I used to have near 500 links from about 300 sites, or something like that. It’s a mystery… ;-)
