Neptune’s Lab

Neptune’s Lab is now a real blog! Finally showing up on Technorati, along with 94 million other blogs. I really like the “What Neptune’s Lab is about” tag cloud.

I did not submit Neptune’s Lab to Technorati so their spider must have been picked up a link from another site or feed. I will sign up Neptune as a Technorati user soon and explore all of its features in a later post.

Technorati appears to have an API with a ton of potential for content aggregation. The Technorati API documentation can be found here.
