Comments from those who selected Technorati as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2007

• "I use this as a reader and an additional search vehicle."  Lynn Wernham
• " the place where you can listen and find new information, voices, conversations in World Live Web (RSS feeds + blogs)"  Carmen Holotescu
• "much of my learning occurs in forming connections with others – sometimes in related fields, other times in completely different disciplines. When I want to learn more about a subject, I turn to blog search engines and start forming a network on that subject. Time in a network translates to depth of understanding (engagement and reflection are important too)."  George Siemens
