Last week’s New York Times magazine featured a cover story on single-sex public education. Certain that the piece would provoke a great deal of online conversation, I thought it would be a great excuse to introduce you to an interesting internet search tool.
Technorati is a specialized internet search engine that focuses primarily on blogs and other frequently updated online sites. It’s the perfect way to find out what other people are saying about an article that interests you. I visited the site and clicked “advanced” next to the search box to get more search options. Then I did a URL search, entering the website address of the NYT story. (You can also simply search by topic).
The results can be sorted by “freshness” (how new the post is) or by “authority” (how many other sites link to that site). Take a look at my search results.
