Does anyone know how to search for more than one tag? Ie if I want to search for football and nokia n80, what separator do I use when specifying tags?

I specified tags as:

Football, nokia n80, symbian

But I get an error message on my phone - should I use a separator other than ","?

Hi jamieladc.

You can follow more than one tag by using the Technorati Watchlist widget instead of this one. This widget only allows one single tag.

To be able to use the Watchlist functionality, where you can insert numerous search tags, you just need to create your own Technorati account. It's free, it's easy and I highly recommend it.

After making your own watchlist (with multiple keywords), just insert the URL of that feed to the Watchlist widget and you're set.

Technorati Watchlist widget:

Cheers!

Antti,

If you're there - thanks for the info!

I have a problem with my watchlist though:

Ive registered at technorati.com and have set up a watchlist. On the technorati watchlist widget it asks for the url of my watchlist.

I don't know how to find this - I've tried copying it from the address bar on outlook when I'm in my watchlist on technorati, but all the url there says is something like www.technorati.com/profile - it isn't specific to my watchlist.

Am I doing something wrong? I just can't get a url that refers specifically to my watchlist to then copy into the watchlist url on technorati watchlist.

Have you got this working? And if so how did you do it?

Thanks
Jamie

Hi again Jamie.

Okay, I think I was a little ahead of myself there, I checked those Watchlist feeds and they also seem to be separate for each keyword and I was unable to find any combined feeds.

The keyword specific RSS feed URL for each keyword can be found on your Watchlist page by rightclicking on the 'RSS View in RSS Format' text below the actual watchlist entries and copying the address to the widget from there. It's something like 'http://www.technorati.com/watchlists/rss.html?...'.

Hopefully you're able to find it and sorry for the misinformation. So there are no multiple tagging possibilities there either. As far as I've tested, the usage of the Watchlist gives a lot more precise results than just your normal tags, so hopefully you're able to get something out of this.

Cheers!
