I just had to share this one. I was doing some searching around Technorati today (it was work related, I swear), and decided to browse through a few Tag searches. Of course, the first search I did was for the word “Education“.

When you do a Technorati Tag search, it gives you a list of related tags. So I bet you’re wondering what tags are related to education. Let’s see… There’s Politics, Technology and News. Hmmm… What else? Science, Religion, culture and…. Warlick???

Yes that’s right, our good friend Dave Warlick has been promoted to Tag status! Heh, not that he doesn’t deserve it, but I just find it funny that he’s right up there with Politics, News and Science.

In all seriousness though, it really does speak volumes to the importance of appropriate tagging and the effectiveness of doing so. Mental note: Go figure out how to fix my broken Technorati plug in for WordPress.

For details on how David accomplishes the Warlick Effect, read the following:

The “Warlick Effect”? Please! It’s like everything else in my carreer. It’s an accident. I know that people will sometimes recommend me to speak at a conference or for staff development to planners and administrators who have never heard of me. So I wanted to make it easy for them to find me on the Net. Little did I know that…
