von Raivo Pommer

Wer in der Krise Geld verdienen wollte, der musste das, was ihm noch geblieben ist, nach China tragen. Ausgerechnet China, dessen Export dramatisch schrumpft und dessen Wachstum so schwach ist wie seit Dekaden nicht mehr, hat derzeit den erfolgreichsten Aktienmarkt der Welt.

Denn seit Jahresbeginn sind die Kurse an den beiden Börsen in Schanghai und Shenzhen um rund ein Viertel gestiegen. Es ist eine Wiedergeburt – denn noch im vergangenen Jahr zählte China zu den schlechtesten Märkten der Welt. Während die gesamtwirtschaftliche Leistung auch in China rapide abnimmt, hat die gesamte Marktkapitalisierung Chinas seit November um knapp 40 Prozent zugelegt.

I am just implementing Technorati tags in my Joomla site for couple days. Guess I will leave it for a week for T to catch the tags. after that, will de-activate the tagging module.

Thanks once again for your article.

I'm newer to blogging ins and outs. Technorati talks about their tags like they're the best thing since sliced bread. I thought I was missing something because I didn't know how the tags would benefit my blog. Then I found your post. You showed me what I was suspecting and more.</p> <p>Thanks....</p> Thanks for this post. I’m newer to blogging ins and outs.

I finally switched to using the rel-tag microformats method and am keeping the links on my site. I've created a simple tool called TagBuildr which creates IMHO a useful resource of tag links across many sites (Flickr, del.icio.us, Squidoo as well as Technorati). So, I'm not using tags as categories and I'm not creating more backlinks for Technorati. What do you think?</p> Now, in 2007, I wonder if your thoughts on Technorati tags have changed since 2005.
