Technorati Exercise
Eug, the Teeny-Bopper, decided to Technorati search Michael Buble. I saw him on PBS Friday night and immediately became a fan of this amazing (young and hot) crooner. Marie may have wanted us to do a more serious topic for this exercise, but I'm an Arts and Entertainment man. That's how I roll. I wanted to search something I found fun instead of boring news to find "spin." This worked just fine!
TECHNORATI SEARCH: MICHAEL BUBLE
1. Kofi's Hat taught me that Michael Buble had won the 2006 Canadian Radio Music Award for Best New Group Or Solo Artist (Hot Adult Contemporary) for his newest album "Home" AND the SOCAN Songwriter Of The Year Award. There was no misinformation from this guy's blog because he only stated fact and even provided links to the official website.
2. Hot-Web simply provided another link to this Canada.com News Article that simply stated that Michael Buble was scheduled to perform at the Canadian Juno Awards April 2 on CTV at Halifax. Again, no opportunity for spin or bias because the blog provided an external link to a basic news story. So far, I'd learned two new things about Michael Buble! Technorati is my friend.
3. Zeke's Gallery had a pleasant surprise! He provided a link to the NY Times Review of Michael Buble's concert at The Radio City Music Hall. I'm a huge reader of The NY Times and for some biased reason, I find it respectful when bloggers use it as a source for information. I appreciate NY critics. A lot. The article was well-written, free from any out-of-line opinions and actually a "safe" review with the kinds of things Michael fans expect to hear.
4. Regarding non-professional reviews, I found a ton! Banana-Stand went to a Michael Buble concert at Constitution Hall, March 3. I liked this post because it had fan-photos! Maybe because I take photos from the audience whenever I go to shows, but fan-photos are more thrilling sometimes than pro-shots because it's the experience! Her review was relatively uninformative other than the fact she completely wants Michael to have her babies. Similarly, John Collins: All About Music provides a concise/short review of Michael's March 1st concert. Lastly Andrea In New York also had a blog-entry on Michael Buble's concert with more cute photos. Their opinions match mine, so it's nice to know someone thinks like you!
5. Brainiac was really bizarre and had a fragment-sentence paragraph stating that Michael Buble would be on ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" and provided another link to Reality TV.com which confirmed the report. Michael Buble had performed at the February 17 results show.
And that was that! To be honest, I don't think I'll be too big a user of Technorati. I've already developed my means of gathering information from credible news sources. I read a lot from a lot of sites, and practice media-literacy by double-checking facts and reading the bias news to just see what they're saying. Technorati seems a useful tool for me to hunt down Arts and Entertainment reviews and information however. I may use it in the future for details on an event I wish I could have attended.

Michael Buble's supposed to be the newest hip sensation. Relatively new, yet looks like someone here to stay. I wouldn't use technorati either, but it looks like you were able to find some stuff. Here's his website, Michael Buble, as if you didn't already know about it.
