Although most people think Technorati is a blog search engine, it isn’t…

it is a “tag” search engine and the more things that get “tagged,” the more of it will get sucked up by Technorati. I just noticed that Technorati has started sucking up YouTube content, take a look at this screenshot:

With YouTube videos, blog content, and images from Flickr all getting pulled together, Technorati is able to provide a very “multimedia” view of topics or ideas. For anyone who’s trying to navigate the blogosphere, how are you tagging your images, video, and text to get found by the “technorati”?
I started serving all my images on Flickr instead of keeping them on my server a while ago, not through any strategic imperative except to save money. But a side effect was that when I went to look at tags on Technorati, I’d notice my Flickr images were showing up at the top of the page, above my blog posts, and I was actually getting traffic from Flickr.
I hope they start pulling in tags from consumating soon, maybe then I’ll get a date
