But the most significant upgrades are to the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090126040959/http://technorati.com/tag">tag pages</a>. As the Blogosphere has grown, the use of tags have grown similarly across the Internet; it's unusual <i>not</i> to find tags associated with content on the Internet. Tags are what the writer is telling readers their articles are about. At Technorati, we see hundreds of thousands of tagged posts per day. </p> <p>As you鈥檇 expect, our new tag pages provide blog posts from across the Blogosphere (with some new tools to filter posts). In addition you'll find all kinds of other tagged content including blogs, videos and photos. The tag trend charts now allow comparison so you can compare any given tag to any other. Finally, we've created space for bloggers and blog readers to discuss how the tag influences the Blogosphere, and original articles detailing and defining the tags, authored by category experts from Technorati's sister site, <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090126040959/http://blogcritics.org/">Blogcritics</a>. We invite you to both discuss the tags as well as author a tag article by <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090126040959/http://blogcritics.org/become.php">becoming a BlogCritic</a>.</p> <p>We've been having a lot of fun playing with these new pages while they were in development, whether on major topics like <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090126040959/http://technorati.com/tag/microsoft">Microsoft</a> or <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090126040959/http://technorati.com/tag/paris+hilton">Paris Hilton</a> to more focused topics like <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090126040959/http://technorati.com/tag/south+beach+diet+recipes">South Beach Diet Recipes</a> and <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090126040959/http://technorati.com/tag/twilight+the+movie">Twilight the movie</a>. When you check them out you may discover a great blog you never knew about, while other readers are discovering your blog.</p> <p><br/> We hope you find Technorati more useful and enjoyable than you found it yesterday.
