Searching Blogs Through Technorati

Well-represented categories: Technology, Books (yay!), Food (another huge yay!)
Under-represented categories: Pets (sniff, sniff), Tennis, and Motorsport

I searched first for "Canine Companions for Independence," and sadly I didn't find anything under blogs or posts. My next search was "CCI," the more colloquial term. Surprisingly, I didn't find anything under posts, but I did find a few actual blogs concerning CCI puppies. I thought for some reason that I would find more posts than blogs, but that was obviously not the case.

Next, since Technorati doesn't really have a lot of blogs concerning pets, I decided to do a search about something else I love, that's category was much better represented: ice cream! This is what I found:
265 blogs for ice cream
293 posts for ice cream
Once again, kind of surprising results.

Technorati is a pretty useful tool if you like to search for random people's blogs. However, I don't find it extremely entertaining to read the blogs of people I don't know since blogs, in my experience, are typically personal.
