Technorati tags: it’s a magic or what?
Wordpress & technorati newbie here.. but I noticed some people are using “tegnorati tags: xxx yyy zzz” in their post and linking back to technorati such as “href=’http://technorati.com/tags/xxx’”. Why people using it while there is category tools available? I know that this post is going to be placed at http://technorati.com/tags/spesel/ because I’m gonna put this post under “spesel” category. There might be a lot more things that I miss, but I dont think putting “tecnorati tags bla bla” has anymore different than putting the post under a category..if the intention is to get listed under that tag at technorati. Furthermore, the linking is not necessarily need to go back to technorati, but it can go anywhere…as long as the tag is the last word in the url. It says;

If Technorati sees it, that means that Wordpress automatically notifies Technorati of categories attached to a post. That’s a Good Thing, as Martha might say.
