I've been having a play around with Technorati and have to admit its quite cool. So what is it I hear you ask? Well, in their own words it's a "real-time search engine that keeps track of what is going on in the blogosphere — the world of weblogs."
For me the really cool feature is that I can add "tags" to my blog posts which are then picked up by Technorati and people interested in that particular topic.
For instance if I was blogging about my new Cadillac Escalade (on order!) then I would add a tag entitled "Cadillac Escalade" on the end of my blog post. This means that people who are "talking" about that particular topic at Technorati will see my tags and maybe head on over to read my post. So basically its a way of reaching a wider audience for my blog.
I've included a tag entitled "Affiliate Marketing" at the bottom of this post. Lets see what happens.
What I'm listening to right now: Lauryn Hill - "The Sweetest Thing (Mahogany Mix)

Welcome to my blog. My name is Kieron Donoghue and I am the founder of ShareMyPlaylists.com, ContentNow.co.uk and some other stuff. I have no idea why I'm blue on this photo though but I like it!
I have just set up an account at Technorati, myself – and am totally hooked!
The tags are actually a great resource for related information, for both yourself and your readers. I’ve had the greatest fun checking out posts on topics that I am blogging about myself, and doing a bit of networking with those bloggers.
