Technorati Does Tags

Ian@FalsePositives.com writes "Technorati (a search engine for blogs) has a new 'tag' service. If your blog tool of choice uses Categories, has a RSS/Atom feed, and pings technorati, then you're done. If not, you can add tags via a new tag markup. The twist is that Technorati is working with Del.icio.us (a social/sharing bookmark manager website) and Flickr (a social/sharing photo web site) to read their tagged content! So Flickr pictures, Del.Ico.us bookmarks, and blog posts all on one page! Here's an example result for the tag Toronto. There is some documentation as well. One current limitation is that there is no way to do tag intersection as with del.icio.us (i.e. http://del.icio.us/tag/toronto+food ) like http://www.technorati.com/tag/toronto+Food. Tagging (also know as Folksonomies) was the topic recently on Slashdot: Folksonomies In Del.icio.us and Flickr."

How does this help with information overload?

Problem with Firefox?

Is it just me, or does Firefox 1.0 fail to load the example link in any way? I get a blank page and "(Untitled)" in the tab bar.

I have this problem on several sites with Firefox on Windows XP and SuSE 9.2. On SuSE the only extension installed is FlashBlock, though this problem occurs with no extensions installed as well.

Off topic? Sure, mod me down. But I would like to be pointed in the direction of a solution, if available.
