Technorati makes me technoCRABBY--14

I think I'm hitting overload. I registered with technorati and "claimed" my blog. Again I think a really really cool dissertation topic would be to examine the rhetoric of web 2.0 because language has really been affected by our "connecting" technologies-phone, video, Internet etc. I really found the visual "face" of technorati to be busy and hard to navigate. I searched popular blogs and found boing boing: a directory of wonderful things which I faved/hearted/whatever. I searched for blogs with learning 2.0 and found a blog called Musings from the Academy and added her to my del.icio.us network since she provided that on her sidebar. She describes herself as an Instructional Technology Specialist. Her tag cloud in d is voluminous (904) Education, English, History and Instructional Strategies, web 2.0., are some of the categories. The tag "graphicorganizers" appears to be the most "used." So what was the ? again. Oh now I'm trying to tag with technorati so I put html in my post--here goes

Now I am really at a loss since "ping" is what I need to aspire to. Is pinging what happens when your technorati tag and theirs shake hands? I am very unstrung....
