Blog MetaData

Geek Alert:

I just discovered Blizg when reading Shanni’s blog and its REALLY cool. For those not familiar with metadata the short definition is that it is data about data. Essentially a structured way of providing information about your site in the form of meta tags. By using these tags on your blog (or any site) you can provide information about your blog or site in a standard way that others can find..

Blizg takes this metadata from blogs and uses it as a REALLY COOL way to go blog hopping above and beyond using people’s blogrolls. You can find blogs by language, country, keywords, or any other thing that they have defined as meta tags.

Anyway.. Maybe i’m just a geek.. Just thought it was cool and had to share! 🙂

Too bad it only works for people with domains. Won’t work for the majority of bloggers.

I don’t think you need to have a domain – you should be able to just put the URL of your blog in the ‘add or update a blog’ and go from there… I tried pluggin in your blog and you didn’t come up as listed yet but i didn’t add you cuz I figured you’d want to..
