Technorati Discover - what bloggers are saying about Tech

I found a handy - and very attractive - set web pages this evening called Technorati Discover. It has a specific page about Tech. I think it is pretty cool.

They cover topics such as: Gadgets, Blogging, Software, and [graphics] Design - as well as Technology in general.

It is a little viewport on the world's thoughts on several pop tech areas at the moment.

Take a look at what some of the hot topics are today.

Gadgets is covering Glow in the Dark Bubble Bath and $100,000 Bulletproof Toilet.

Blogging gives recognition to a new WordPress plugin for SNAP.

Software talks about Digg as a Game, RapidWeaver: Filling the WSIIWYG Void, and advises Sick Of Windows XP? Delete It!.

The top design posts asks Who says index cards are boring?, a TROFE Mug from IKEA, and The Collegiate Green Wave and the Campus Climate..., as its special features of the moment.

In addition to spotlighting 3 very popular blog posts under each of the categories above, this page also has links to more blogs on those topics.

Technorati Discover:
Discover what people are saying about Tech


When the web was first created about a decade and a half ago, its designer/inventor had a particular goal in mind. He wanted people writing about a particular subject area - physics - to be able to communicate/collaborate with each other better.

The web turned into something that lets everyone communicating with everyone else about everything better - at least as far as written/visual mediums go.

What this Technorati page shows is what people are most successfully communicating about at the moment.

It is kind of dynamic status metadata about certain subject areas - summarized down to just a few interesting writings. Kind of as if the web was a liquid medium, and this is what bubbles up.
