Just as an FYI, you don't technically need to have a blog to have technorati tags -- you just have to make it look like you've got something Technorati can understand. It can be straight HTML with the correct comment goop in the page. If you register with Technorati and put the right stuff on the page, it'll figure it out. The point of technorati is to create a commonly-searchable taxonomy; with that, you could easily participate as easily as anyone on LJ and they could see your contributions through technorati without having to know where they are. Diss it all you like, but technorati is google for blogs. It's also possible to make your recommendations, then have someone on LJ repost them with the appropriate tags. Personally, I'm not really quite so clear on why this system is so fundamentally different than Cheryl's. Either way, the results end up on someone else's server.
