The good news is that Ping-O-Matic seems to be working today. I pinged 4-5 services, including Technorati since I don't see my item showing up after directly pinging that site yesterday.
The bad news is that searching Technorati for my tag terms resulted in dozens of hits, all but 1-2 of which are spam and none were my post. I had to scroll through screen after screen of ads for poker and cialis. I work very hard to filter that stuff out of my email -- which I need -- so why would I ever, ever spend any time with a new, and mostly useless, venue that is 90% spam, 9.99% hateful, ignorant racist, misogynist rants, and 0.01% thoughtful and compassionate?
After this exercise, I need a shower.
p.s. to complete the thought in the title "tagging is a) what dogs and other canines do to mark their territory and b) another name for graffiti
