The Technorati tagging system has the effect of building (in some cases) mighty small worlds, where, no surprise, it’s easy to notice your neighbors. Syndication for Higher Ed is one of two blogs tagged “college admission” (There are five tagged “college admissions.”) The other blog tagged “college admission” is College v2, a blog run by a student from Temple University named Sean Blanda.

College v2 aims to arm students with the tricks, tips, and knowledge to put them ahead of the pack.
